Can't find the button for duplicates in Photos!

I'm sorting photos and have emptied mobiles, cameras, etc. and dragged them into the Pictures program on the Mac computer. I know there are a lot of duplicates and instead of going through all the thousands of photos I want to search for the duplicates and merge them. There should apparently be a "duplicates" button in the side menu, but this is not visible to me and when I search får "duplicates" in the program (Pictures) I get 0 results. What could be the error?

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)

NO there is no such button. What happens is that the app scans your library over time, and if it finds duplicates it will show an album in the left hand pane for you to inspect and resolve them. This can take some time to show up.
