As my Org's AGO Admin, I'm discovering that some of my colleagues are publishing their own copies of items, wasting credits rather than pointing to a single source. It would be fantastic for help to quickly search my organization's items for potential duplicates--could be based on size, geometry, or something else.
Just identifying the issue would be helpful, but as a bonus, it would be great to have scripts that could help identify any maps and apps pointing to those duplicates, change them to point to the single source item I identify, and delete the duplicate items (after notifying my colleagues, of course).
Yeah, would be good to have a report that would list any child item that's been created by a user from, for example, a hosted feature service within AGOL. Just like hosted views will show the parent item.
Suppose the downside to this would be where users download a dataset, manipulate it in ArcPro, then upload - it'll be seen as a unique piece of content.
Alternatively, would just running a scheduled item report and using it within a process to identify similar items work? I know not every workplace has an AI policy, but perhaps feeling the report into an AI workflow would give you what you want (I may try this myself as I fall foul over time to duplicates).
Maybe, as the platform matures, this is something ESRI would look at as part of AI Assistance within AGOL -
Update;
Didn't spend any length of time beyond a simple prompt, however, this is part of an output created using appropriate AI tooling. I've also not carried out any sense checking or prompt improvement. From what I can see, there's a number of items I can verify that I would look at anyway, and knowing some users' content - yup - there's a fair bit of work to be done.

Items for review.
You can see I've an issue trying to get users to complete tagging.
