Workout duplicates, triplicates, etc
The new syncing tools (ex. Garmin AutoSync or tapiriik) are very handy for athletes. However they have introduced a new problem. Athletes without the necessary attention or guidance just activate everything from different platforms and the same workouts just start syncing without checking if that file is already at TP. The end result: duplicates, triplicates, etc. As a coach I would like to have a tool where duplicates, triplicates, etc would be detected and offered a solution to fix it. Thanks.

This would be massively helpful for retrospective uploads, and not just the current activities. I use a Garmin head unit and watch, and if I don’t remove activities from them before synching with a cable I get spammed with old duplicate workouts that need cleaning up. Arguably that’s a Garmin problem, but the same applies to any form of multiple uploads.
In that sense, if multiples are detected it would be good to have a preferred device from which the activity is kept and the others removed.

Adding my support to recognise and remove duplicates. I have an activity come from both TrainingPeaks Virtual and Garmin, and this is not preventable on the app side. I have to manually delete the duplicate. It should be simple to recognise duplicates and prevent them by the timestamps.

Found this from a Google search ... seeing quite a few duplicate workouts coming from Whoop vs my cycling headunit and no way to easily find and kill them all at once. Be great to have a way to search and kill. How is this not possible?

I've got the same problem. My solution: I search for .fit - files with "#2" in the name in the subdirectory of my athletic data and delete all these files. Thats it.
I know, it is a problematic workaround. An implemented function in WKO to determine and delete duplicates should be useful for users who paid money for a training management software ;-)

Is there any chance this will ever get in? Almost 4 years gone and data duplication can't be fixed!

Yes! This happened to me. Duplicate prevention is necessary and/or better data manupulation tools such as search for all "other" activities and delete. Thanks!

As a multiple fitness device user, I'm finding constant duplicates in my TP workout log. I currently use a Garmin Fenix and a Garmin Edge, and both auto sync via Garmin Connect. I always record my cycling workouts on both devices (backup, Garmins are temperamental), and I then have to manually delete all duplicates. Would be nice to have TP autodetect them (as Strava does)

Detect the upload of duplicate activity files via manual upload, garmin connect or any other means of uploading. I had previously uploaded all of my activity files via the web console and have just connected training peaks with garmin connect. The result is duplicate activities for the last 12 months which I now have to go through and delete individually.
