Merging and splitting suggestions

In this article

Introduction

As a moderator you can merge or split suggestions to help with clarity:

  • Merge a suggestion that is similar to one that has already been posted so you aren’t dealing with duplicates (although most customers will usually notice if their suggestion has already been posted)
  • Split a suggestion that is actually a few suggestions in one so other customers know what they are voting up and commenting on

Merging suggestions

You might want to merge a suggestion if it is basically the same as an existing one.

Choose the suggestion you want to merge and then select ‘merge’.

You can then find the suggestion you want to merge it with by title or id.
