How do you undo a merge

Question

I merged in error:  Kirksey-473=Kirksey-130

should have been Kirksey-473 = Kirksey-330

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

No harm done! All you did was propose the merge. You didn't actually merge the profiles.

When an erroneous merge proposal is created, it can be removed by simply changing it to an unmerged match or a rejected match. Then it can be removed (or kept if there's reason to think it should be an unmerged match or a rejected match).

I changed this one to a rejected match.

Now you can propose the merge you intended. Because it's so easy to enter the wrong profile number, it's a good idea to COMPARE the two profiles before proposing the merge.

Answer 2

The merge cannot be undone, but since the last names are the same, I would edit the data on 330 to what 130 had, and change the relationship links as needed.

The merged away profile is gone forever and will have to be created again

False alarm. She merely proposed the merge. It wasn't completed.
