+contents exactly match an existing document (same checksum), the new copy is still
+consumed and a warning is logged. The task entry for the upload also flags that a
+duplicate was detected and links to the existing document(s).

-When a document has duplicates, a **Duplicates** tab appears on its detail page, listing
-the other documents you can view that share the same content (including any in the trash).
-To find all documents with duplicates, choose **Duplicates** in the document list's text
-filter dropdown, or use `has_duplicates=true` in the REST API.
+To review duplicates, open a document and switch to the **Duplicates** tab on the
+document detail page. It lists other documents that share the same content, including any
+that are in the trash (shown with a badge), and links to each so you can decide which to
+keep.

 If you would rather reject duplicates at consumption time (the pre-v3 behavior), set
 [`PAPERLESS_CONSUMER_DELETE_DUPLICATES`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_CONSUMER_DELETE_DUPLICATES)
 to `true`. The duplicate file is then deleted instead of consumed, and the task fails with

-#### Searching barcodes
-
-If [barcode contents are stored](advanced_usage.md#barcode-contents), they can be searched by
-content or type, but only with a field name:
-
-```
-barcodes.value:DE89370400440532013000
-barcodes.format:qrcode
-barcodes:wifi barcodes:guest
-```
-
-`barcodes:` is shorthand for `barcodes.value:`. Separators are stripped, so each part of e.g.
-`WIFI:S:Guest;P:secret;;` can be searched on its own.
-
 All of these can be combined. Syntax not described here may not work as expected, and an unknown field name is searched as ordinary text.
