Identify Duplicate Files

Why use this Validation Block?

If you have an automated import set up on Nanonets, you might erroneously upload the same file twice. In workflows where you're processing documents for payment, this might lead to duplicate payments to the same vendor. With this block added in your Workflow, Duplicate files will be flagged so that a manual reviewer is aware and can take action.
