Why do I have duplicate entries in the categories after syncing? I have had to manually delete entries and now I’m afraid to update the software.

Hey @msgidd
Thank you for using Codebook and posting to the discussion forum, although I’m sorry to hear about the unexpected duplicate entries.
I have a few questions:
- Did you import Codebook data via CSV import on one of your machines?
- Did you create identical entries on multiple devices?
- What devices do you use Codebook on?
- Which sync method are you using (Google Drive, Dropbox, Desktop WiFi)?
Codebook uses a unique identifier internally for each entry. Even if two entries have the exact same name/data, if they were created on separate devices they would still be considered unique (and result in duplication).
