Term Merging

Summary

You might find you need to merge two or more terms together. It could be there are two similar terms, or one with a typo, or some other reason. This can be done in the admin.

Instructions

You need to be logged in to the admin to merge any terms.

Then navigate to Structure > Taxonomy.

Structure > Taxonomy

From here click list terms on the vocabulary you need to merge a term in.

You'll see an option on the pages' sub navigation to `Merge', click this.

Merge link

On the next page, select ONLY the term(s) that is being merged, and not the one being merged into, then scroll to the bottom and click the Merge button.

Merge term list

You'll now see a page asking the which term (tag) you'd like to merge these into.

Merge term target

You can either create a new term, or select an existing one. Once you've done this click Submit.

Confirm the action, and you're done.

Be careful

Please be careful when merging terms as this cannot be undone. If you are unsure please raise a help desk ticket.
