Removal of Duplicate Documents on the IG Toolkit


A significant number of duplicate documents have been identified within the evidence documents held against organisations’ assessments on the IG Toolkit. 

As part of version 11 released in June 2013, a new function has been added which means that a user cannot upload more than one document with the same filename. 
There are concerns in relation to long term server capacity, so a decision has been taken to remove any duplicate evidence documents (i.e. those documents where both the filename and content is exactly the same). 

The removal of these documents should also help with the management of evidence documents for users via the ‘view documents used as evidence’ link as the duplicate documents will no longer be appearing as multiple duplicated entries on that list.
These changes will happen automatically over the weekend of 25th October and you do not need to take any action. This action will not impact on your overall assessment or scores.
