definitely on this one

Is this available already in the iOS app? Also, I thought it wasn’t possible to add duplicates as there is still an active feature request currently active to add a bookmark to 2 or more collections at the same time…

spirit: this is the correct response. You currently cannot upload duplicates. When you try it will just route you to the folder that bookmark already exists in.

dwoodman596@gmail.com: it would be great if you could multi-select collections for a particular bookmark rather than only having the option to single-select
Caution
This is very important because it prevents user from adding unnecessary duplicate bookmarks. Many times we by mistake add duplicate bookmarks.

Caution: It would also prevent users from accidentally overwriting the previously cached site, which happens if you have auto-save enabled and click the extension button on a previously saved link (destroys the "permanent copy" you previously saved, which is pretty bad design with the current implementation).

This supported in browser extension. You need this feature on web/desktop too?

Rustem Mussabekov: I was thinking that might be ideal - I end up adding a lot of my links manually in different folders so it's rather easy to end up with duplicates. How it's implemented in the extension is great, I was thinking that for web/desktop it could show you all the locations where that bookmark is duplicated, then give you the option to add regardless or perform a duplicate merge right there
Caution
Rustem Mussabekov: For Android

Rustem Mussabekov: I'd particularly wish for it in the Android app.

Rustem Mussabekov: I think it should be viewable at a glance.
The extension icon should show the page is bookmarked when you visit it. That would be huge.

Rustem Mussabekov: Before creating a new feature request, I would like to ask what you think about this feature: I would like to have quite an opposite - to be able to create duplicate links in various collections, but ideally without creating actual duplicates or copies of the link.
I mean, the link would exist in a single instance only and collections I assign the link to would contain just a reference to it. So when I edit such link, I always edit the single instance of it, no matter in what collection I'm editing it. When I unassign it from a collection, it disappears just from that collection, the reference is deleted. When I delete the link, it disappears from all collections, obviously.
I'm aware that it may be quite a lot of work to implement and it may be complex, but it would greatly improve the UX. What do you think, please?

Pickle Rick: yes please this would be SO helpful!!!

Pickle Rick: I second this. Having an indicator that the page has already been bookmarked would be a huge help.
