Use cases

  • Merge casing or punctuation variants that fragment reporting.

  • Undo recent supported cleanup jobs when a mistake is caught quickly.

Core capabilities

  • Duplicate and near-match label detection with issue counts and recommended canonical labels.
  • Project-scoped scans for targeted cleanup.
  • Bulk merge and search-and-replace workflows with previews.
  • Chunked cleanup jobs with audit trail records.
  • Recent undo support while the stored undo snapshot is still available.
