When multiple authors edit large contracts or multi-part agreements, it’s easy for the same term to be defined more than once - often with slightly different meanings.
Duplicated Defined Terms helps you spot and resolve these issues before they cause confusion.

🔍 What It Does

Duplicated Defined Terms automatically detects when a defined term appears more than once in your document set.

It then:

• Collects all locations where the duplicate definitions occur.
• Displays them neatly in the Duplicate Defined Terms list for fast, easy review.

📚 Main vs Sub-Documents

When working across multiple files - for example, a main agreement and several sub-documents — consistency is key.

If a term is defined in both:

• The main document defines it first.
• The sub-document entry is flagged with a duplicate definition error.

⚖️ Sub-documents cannot re-define terms that already exist in the main doc — ensuring uniform terminology across your entire contract set.

💡 Why It Matters

🔹 Prevents conflicting definitions.

🔹 Enforces document consistency across main and sub-docs.

🔹 Gives precise traceability of where each duplicate was defined.
