What is Remove Duplicate Lines?
Duplicate lines often appear after merging lists, copying data between tools or collecting notes from multiple sources. This utility removes repeated entries while keeping the first occurrence, which makes it useful for lightweight data cleanup.
SmartToolkit is built around transparent inputs and readable results. Where the task can run entirely in the browser, the page is designed to do so without intentionally uploading the working data to a SmartToolkit application server.

Frequently asked questions
