# Merge Duplicates

## **Handling Duplicate Profiles**

Here's an example of how to spot and handle a duplicate profile.

### Spotting a Duplicate

Say a trainer has four entries in a show, but when you look at their barn account's entries tab, only three appear, one entry is missing from the list. If you go back to your main entries screen and filter for that trainer, then click into the missing entry, you may find a second profile under the same name that isn't actually the same person, a duplicate.

One way to confirm this: make a change to that one entry, then go back to your main entries tab. If that's the only entry reflecting the change while the others stay the same, that's a dead giveaway you're looking at a duplicate rather than one shared profile.

### Merging Duplicate Profiles

To get rid of a duplicate, open the edit screen for that person or horse, click the three dots, and select Merge. From there, search for the other matching profile and merge the two together. Once merged, all of the entries that belonged to either profile will now be connected under one, and the trainer's barn account will show all four entries together.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.horsespot.com/product-docs/show-day-tools/entries/detailed-entry-view/merge-duplicates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
