Enable Deduplicate Entry

We recommend enabling Deduplicate Entry‍ as well. Deduplicate Entry is a replacement entry page that you can use instead of the native Salesforce entry page. It shows duplicates while creating or editing the record. You will immediately see if there are any duplicates of the record you are creating.
