Merging Duplicates
Consolidate duplicate feature requests to avoid fragmentation and combine votes.
Why Merge?
- Consolidate votes and feedback
- Clearer demand picture
- Easier prioritization
- Cleaner board
Merge Process
- Choose parent request (the one to keep)
- Find duplicates - Search and select requests to merge
- Review merge - Verify vote counts and comments will combine
- Confirm merge - Complete the merge
Best Practices
Merge when:
- Requests ask for same feature
- Core idea is identical
Don't merge when:
- Similar but distinct features
- Different use cases
Add comment to parent explaining the merge and thanking users.
