Tool overview
How Reference List Deduplicator works
Reference List Deduplicator provides a browser-local implementation for the documented workflow. It keeps the result visible, reviewable, and separate from the input while following PasteTidy's privacy and claims limits.
Reference List Deduplicator workflows
- Run Reference List Deduplicator on pasted work data
- Prepare local text or structured data for the next PasteTidy tool
- Document a repeatable browser-local cleanup or conversion step
Use Reference List Deduplicator locally
- Paste the source text or data.
- Review the local result generated in the output editor.
- Copy or download the result when it matches the intended workflow.
Reference List Deduplicator assumptions and controls
- This implementation uses a conservative local default for the documented task.
- The input and output remain separate so destructive changes are reviewable.
- No user content is placed in the URL, analytics payloads, or local history.
