Steps to verify

  • Keep the original separately.
  • Find intentional repetition.
  • Review paragraph meaning before applying changes.

How to interpret the result

The repeated note is an identical string but can serve both sections. Overwriting without review can remove context.

Deciding what to do next

Line matching helps lists; prose needs editorial judgment. Use the result as a draft and keep repetition readers need.

Feature scope

Keep first-occurrence order while removing matching strings, with trim and empty-line options and case-sensitive comparison, not semantic merging.

Frequently asked questions

Does it merge similar sentences?

Only matching strings are processed; similar meanings remain separate.
