## Step 2: Review the Duplicates

Breakcold will list contacts it detects as potential duplicates based on names, emails, or LinkedIn URLs.

⚠️ **Important Note:**
Sometimes duplicates have conflicting information (e.g. different emails or names). In these cases, **manual merge is required** you’ll need to select which data to keep for each field. Breakcold will handle the rest once you’ve made your selections.

* Same **full name**
* Same **email address** or **LinkedIn URL**
* And 20+ other smart criteria

## Step 3: Choose What to Do

1. Auto-merge all duplicates
2. Manually merge contact
   Mark as “Not a duplicate” if they’re actually different
