Why Vexly shows duplicate warnings and how to dismiss them

Duplicate Subscription Warnings

Vexly includes smart duplicate detection to help you avoid accidentally tracking the same subscription twice.

Why You're Seeing This Warning

Vexly's duplicate detection analyzes subscription names and flags potential duplicates based on similarity. You might see warnings if you have:

  • Two subscriptions with similar names (e.g., "Netflix" and "Netflix Premium")
  • The same service tracked for different family members with the exact same service name
  • Variations of the same service name with different spellings

Note: This is a helpful feature designed to catch accidental duplicates, especially during bulk imports or when adding subscriptions quickly.

How to Dismiss Warnings

If you've confirmed these are not duplicates (for example, you intentionally track the same service for multiple family members):

  1. Locate the duplicate detection warning card on your dashboard
  2. Click the "Snooze" button
  3. The warning will be dismissed and won't show again for these subscriptions

Actual Duplicates

If the warning has correctly identified actual duplicates:

  1. Review both subscriptions to determine which is accurate
  2. Delete the duplicate subscription from your list
  3. The warning will automatically clear

Family Member Subscriptions

If you're tracking the same service for different family members, consider adding distinguishing information (e.g., "Netflix - John" vs "Netflix - Family") or simply snooze the warning.
