  2. From the left-hand side menu, click on the "CMS" tab.
  3. In the CMS panel, select the Collection that contains the duplicate blog posts you want to delete.
  4. By default, the CMS panel will display the List View, which shows all the blog posts in that Collection. You can switch to the Table View if you find it more convenient.
  5. Identify the duplicate blog posts by checking their titles or any other unique identifier.
  6. Select the duplicate blog posts by clicking on their checkboxes. You can select multiple posts by holding down the Shift or Ctrl key while clicking.
