Merge Profiles
Use this procedure to merge any two profiles.
- You'll need the Merge Individual permission.
You can use this procedure to merge any two profiles, whether Realm has identified them as possible duplicates or not. Merging duplicate profiles does not merge families after a marriage. To do this, see Life Changes.
- If needed, locate your duplicate profiles.
- Click
on the profile, and select Merge Profile.
- Enter the name of the potentially duplicate profile in the text field.
- The profiles display side by side. Where one profile has information but the other does not, the selection is made for you. Where the information matches for both profiles, the selection is also made automatically. The Choose Data arrow
indicates that you must make a selection between conflicting entries. Click one side or the other and the indicator disappears. See Profile Merge Field Descriptions for more on certain fields.
- When all orange indicators are gone, you can click Merge Profiles.
Any family members that were connected with the old profile may need to be merged or reunited with the new profile.
