So how can we recognize the each document independently?For that we have to reopen all the files and see the content.So this is not possible when we have many files with same name..And also we cannot search them by accessing time also.I think it is not good to have duplicated files.So can you please clarify this??

This is also the intended behavior. On the files, if you had saved
them at different times, they would have different save times.
Moreover, you can add additional metadata or classifiers to further
disambiguate between the two.

It would be a poor choice to add code to handle the situation "two
copies saved in close succession", as the Journal will display the
most recent first, and it would be too much of a distruption to force
the user to name their document.
