Merging and unmerging posts

How to combine two posts into one

Written by Canny

Overview

Merging helps you manage duplicate posts and keep your feedback organized.

Benefits

  • Reduce duplicate feedback and keep boards organized

  • Combine related posts to consolidate votes and comments

  • Maintain clarity for your team and users by keeping noise to a minimum


Example

If you have post A and someone creates post B, you can merge B into A. After merging, only post A will remain:

  • Merging a post will bring over all the comments and votes into the remaining post

  • The merged post will show up in the post comments

  • Merging a post does not send any user notifications

Note: If post A is merged into B and B into C, the Unmerge option will no longer appear in post A. You can unmerge B from C, but not A from B.
