Claims that fulfil the same argumentative purpose are known as duplicate claims. Because claims can exist in multiple locations in one discussion (see: Moving/Copying a Claim), such duplicates are unnecessary. To help you avoid creating duplicate claims, Kialo will show you a list of claims most similar to the claim you are currently writing/editing as you type, in a list of possible duplicate claims, under the editing field.
If you click on the left-hand side of a possible duplicate claim you will replace the claim you were typing with a copy of the possible duplicate - i.e. you will add an additional location for that claim in your current location. If you click on the right-hand side of a possible duplicate claim, you will go to that possible duplicate.
