3. In the Enter ID field of the Mark as Duplicate window, enter the record ID of the original record of which this record is a duplicate.
   The Enter ID field is case sensitive.
4. To view the record to see if it is a duplicate of another record, click Find.
5. To update the selected record before committing it, select Allow updating the record before committing it to the database.
6. Click OK .
7. Click Apply on the record form to commit the record to the database.
