If Global deduplication is selected and documents with attachments are duplicates, what happens during publication?

When global deduplication is selected in the context of publishing documents, the system prioritizes the management of duplicates effectively. In this scenario, if you have a set of documents that includes attachments and some of these documents are identified as duplicates, the expected behavior during publication is that all relevant content is published without excluding any necessary information.

The reason why all documents and their attachments are published is based on the principle of ensuring that a complete set of information is available for review or use. This is essential for maintaining the integrity of the data set, as attachments often contain vital information that complements the parent document. They are not treated separately in terms of deduplication during publication; instead, the system handles them as part of the holistic package of documents associated with a case.

This means that even if parent documents are duplicates, their attachments are included to ensure that the complete context of the document is preserved. Therefore, the choice that indicates that all documents and their attachments are published aligns with the goals of thoroughness and data integrity in the publishing process.
