## What it does

When enabled, responses with identical text (ignoring capitalization) are shown only once in the list. Topics are still applied to every occurrence behind the scenes, you just see a tidier view. This setting only affects what you see on screen; it has no impact on your data or results.\

<Note>
  **Example:** If 20 respondents all wrote "Great", you'll see it appear once in the list. All 20 responses are still counted in statistics and included in exports.
</Note>

## What changed in duplicate grouping

The grouping behaviour was recently updated to be more consistent. As a result, responses that previously appeared grouped may now show separately if their topic assignments differ.

### How to regroup duplicates

If responses that used to be grouped are now showing separately, it's because they have different topic assignments. Here's how to fix it:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the duplicate rows">
    Select all rows with the same response text.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Align topic assignments">
    Use **Bulk Assign** to give them the same topics.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Match review status">
    Make sure their review status also matches (all reviewed or all unreviewed).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for regrouping">
    Regrouping isn't instant — it may take a couple of minutes to apply.
  </Step>
</Steps>
