How to prevent duplicate assets uploading in AEM?

[AEMasCS_DEV]

Is there a way to stop the Authoring team from Uploading Duplicate Assets and a way to Identify & List existing Duplicate Assets?

If your authoring team is uploading duplicate assets and you want to notify them, then these steps will help you.

: Duplicate detection is disabled by default. To enable the feature, do the following steps:

• Open the Adobe Experience Manager Web Console Configuration page at https://[server]:[port]/system/console/configMgr.

• Edit the configuration for the servlet Day CQ DAM Create Asset.

• Select the detect duplicate option, and click/tap Save.

If assets were already existing & you want to detect duplicates, I suggest you view this useful code.
