The following warning displays in the Description frame:

Duplicate Content within Solution Pack

If two separate Controls contain identical content and one Control is deployed successfully, the 
status of the duplicate content in the other Control is changed to Installed. The remaining child 
nodes in the second Control stay uninstalled. 

Each content item is only installed once. If the same content item (for example, an iTRAC workflow 
or a correlation rule) is included in more than one Control, it is only installed once. Therefore, if you 
install one of those Controls, the content displays with an installed status in the other Control. In this 
scenario, the Solution Manager might show that the content for the second Control is only partially 
installed. See Control 1.4.2 in the example below:
