Understanding Auto-Dedup: Which Records Are Removed and Configuration Options

Auto-dedupe allows you to keep your table clean by removing duplicate records, but there is no explicit configuration option to choose whether to keep the older or newer record. You can enable auto-dedupe by:1. Clicking the Auto-dedupe icon at the bottom right of your table 2. Selecting "Enable automatic deduplication" 3. Choosing which column to dedupe 4. Clicking "Save Changes"The feature ensures unique records in your table and helps save credits by preventing duplicate enrichments. Sources: Auto-dedupe Auto-update and Auto-dedupe Table

The information provided doesn't specify which record (older or newer) auto-dedupe deletes by default. Auto-dedupe is a feature that ensures a table has a unique set of records by deleting duplicates, but the exact criteria for which record is kept isn't mentioned.To get more clarity on this, could you tell me if you've noticed any specific behavior when using auto-dedupe in your Clay tables? This would help me provide a more accurate answer or guide you to the right resources. Source: Auto-update and Auto-dedupe Table
