## Feature Idea (one per thread):

When adding a lot of links to a group, often you do not want to select the same document twice

## Proposal

If a link appears in a group, an option to hide any documents which have already been selected by other items within the same group. Deselecting this option would allow the group item link to be selected in the same way it currently works.

## Issue that it solves:

This is a quality of life improvement for editors, ensuring the same items don't accidentally get added to a list multiple times

Hi Dan,

This is a nice idea and I can see how it can make this process faster by adding this filter.

I've passed this to the Product Team for them to see. If/when they have any updates or questions about this they'll let you know here.

Thanks.
