    To maintain the integrity of your data, it’s a good idea to set up duplicate detection rules to reduce duplicate records in the system. Remember that after you create duplicate detection rules, you need to turn them on.

    These settings can be found in the Power Platform admin center by going to Environments > [select an environment] > Settings > Data management > Duplicate detection.

    Select an environment and go to Settings > Data management > Duplicate detection.

    Select or clear the Enable duplicate detection check box.

    Note-

    If your system contains a large number of records, checking for duplicates can impact performance.

    If you’re turning duplicate detection on, select or clear the check boxes to set when duplicates are detected:

    When a record is created or updated

    The system checks for duplicates when a user enters or updates records.

    Important-

    Duplicates aren’t detected when a user merges two records, activates or deactivates a record, or saves a completed activity.

    When Dynamics 365 for Outlook goes from offline to online

    For users of Dynamics 365 for Outlook, the system detects duplicates when the user synchronizes their data after working offline, as long as users have enabled duplicate detection in Outlook. To enable duplicate detection in Outlook, select File > Dynamics 365 > Options. Choose the Local Data tab, and then select the Enable duplicate detection during offline to online synchronization check box.

    During data import

    When you use the Import Data wizard to bring in contacts, leads, accounts, or other types of data, the wizard detects any duplicate records as long as you enable duplicate detection in the wizard.

    Select OK.

    Hope this will help.

    Best Regards
