Review the match

Matching uses file content rather than the filename alone. Renaming an identical file may still produce a duplicate warning.

  1. When Pickit reports duplicate files, choose Review.
  2. Choose Show existing file beside a match to inspect the file already in Pickit.

Choose what to keep

  • Skip N duplicates skips the checked pending uploads. It keeps the existing files and does not add them to the upload destination.
  • Add N assets to this library, folder or collection reuses all matches missing from that destination, regardless of which rows are checked. For one file, use its Add to this … action. These actions add the existing file rather than upload a separate copy.
  • Upload as duplicate, beside an individual file under Review, uploads a separate copy. It does not replace the existing file.

If the match is in Trash

Choose Review, then Restore from trash for one file, or select files and choose Restore N from trash.

Check the restored file’s location afterwards. Restoring it does not by itself add it to the folder or collection where you started the upload.
