How to remove duplicate tabs

Toby can find tabs you've saved more than once and help you delete the extra copies. It can also stop new copies as you save. Both are part of the Productivity and Team plans.

Find and delete duplicates

  1. To check one Space, open the Space's ··· menu and click Search Duplicates. To check your whole workspace, click the ··· next to Spaces in the left sidebar, then Search Duplicates.

  2. Duplicate Tabs Found shows each set of copies of the same page, one set at a time. Tick the copies you want to delete, then click Delete. They're deleted right away.

  3. Use the arrows to move between sets. When none are left, Toby says That's it!: click Done. To stop early, close the panel.

Select All ticks every copy in the set, including the one you may want to keep. Toby treats two addresses as the same page even when they differ only in tracking details.

Stop new duplicates

  1. Click Settings at the bottom of the left sidebar.

  2. Under Account, click Preferences.

  3. Under Tabs, turn on Remove Duplicate Tabs.

Now when you save tabs into a collection, Toby skips the ones already in it and clears out any copies the collection already had, keeping one of each. The same page can still be saved in a different collection.
