# What is Duplicate Record?

Two or more entries for the same person or thing in one tool, often from typos or repeat imports. They split the history in two and cause double mailings until someone merges them.

## In real work

Grace Chen got two gala invitations because she had a duplicate record in HubSpot under her maiden name, so Ana merged the two.
