How to find duplicate segments in a project

Déjà Vu cannot show you duplicate segments in the project, even if they exist, unless they have been marked as duplicate first. Therefore, if you want to view duplicate segments in the project using the Segment Selector, you must have Déjà Vu mark the segments first.

To find out how to do this, click on the version of Déjà Vu you are using, below:
