What happens to the DeDuped Paths field when documents are de-duplicated?

When documents are de-duplicated, the DeDuped Paths field stores the virtual paths of the duplicates. This functionality allows users to track the original document and all its duplicates within the system. By maintaining a record of where the duplicates reside, it provides a useful reference for understanding data lineage and organization in the repository.

In a de-duplication process, only the unique instance of a document is retained in the system, while the duplicates are effectively referenced as virtual representations. This enables efficient storage management and ensures that users can quickly identify related content. The field plays a crucial role in preserving the integrity of the document management system, allowing users to easily navigate and retrieve necessary information without losing track of duplicates.
