How are you finding the duplicates if the title has changed? The ones I've found have been when I've edited the metadata and run Find Duplicates on both my intake and main libraries afterwards.

Sorting by author when I know I've downloaded it before works. If not, sometimes finding by similar titles can work if the change is not too different.
