Actually, I'd love to share feedback about the answer from support. They stated that duplicate removal doesn't work across vaults on purpose, because people might accidentally delete things from the wrong vault. But this seems like an easy thing for software to address:
When selecting “remove duplicates”, simply allow user checkboxes to pick among which vault(s) any duplicates should be removed from. Any unchecked vaults (eg shared vault, employee vault) would not have any of its items removed. You could even default to only the current vault being checked, so it would work as it currently does unless user intentionally expands to include another vault, ie the infamous imported vault. In situations like that, user could even uncheck current vault and check imported vault, so only duplicates found in the imported vault will be deleted.
This approach would be far superior to support's suggestion of merging the vaults, then find duplicates in the merged vault. What if I don't want those vaults merged? Thanks Dave!
