Merge duplicate posts into a single post to reduce clutter and sum up votes.

Overview
Post-merging lets you combine similar or duplicate posts into one, helping to declutter your Dashboard and avoid confusion.
Merging a post brings over all comments and votes into the parent post.
Old (merged) posts can be found in the Activity section of the parent post.
No user notifications are sent when posts are merged.
We show you similar posts under each submission, making it easier to see if there are existing posts on the same topic that can be merged.
Our AI also suggests potential duplicate ideas to users during post creation, in real-time, to help prevent similar posts from being created (encouraging them to upvote the existing one instead).
Good to know: If Post Moderation is enabled, you can also merge posts there.
How to merge posts
1. From the Dashboard
To merge one or many similar posts into one in the Dashboard:
Check the post(s) you want to merge into another
Right-click and select Merge into
Search for the parent post you wish to merge the selected post into and click on it
Confirm the merge
Tip: Quickly merge multiple posts into one simultaneously by selecting them on your dashboard and right-clicking.
2. By opening the post
If you’re on the Public Portal, you can simply:
Open one of the posts
Click on the merge icon in the upper right corner
Select if you want to:
Merge others to this - merge another post into the one you're currently viewing
Merge to existing - merge the current post into another post you choose
Search for the post you wish to perform the merge with and click on it
Where can I find merged posts?
You can quickly see the merged posts by opening the posts and hovering over the active merge icon.
Alternatively, you can find all of the info about merges and other updates in the post's Activity feed:
