It is recommended that you do not turn automatic upcoding on in the early stages of your project. If you turn upcoding on and then move child codes under a different parent, Dedoose will still count these child codes under the initial parent code, as well as under the new parent. They will therefore be counted twice. To then undo this, you will need to manually find and delete the code applications. 

If needed you can always "upcode" at the end of your project via the "Retroactive Upcode" feature. Before making changes, we recommend making a copy of your project and test "Retroactive Upcode" on the copy.
