Merge sources

[ADfamily]

I have TONS of sources to merge but can't find a method other than one-by-one. Is there?

Before merging anything, I highly recommend you save a backup copy of your family file, just in case you need to revert back to the listing of sources as it is now. This can be done using Time Machine or by choosing File -> Save a Backup Copy and clicking Save.

Once the backup has been saved, to find matches for all sources and merge all of the duplicates at once, choose File -> Match and Merge Sources... (or click on the Tools icon (hammer) at the bottom of the Sources sidebar and select Match & Merge Sources). Then, enter your criteria for a duplicate source and click Match... At the bottom of the Merge Sources window, you will see a Merge All button...


Additional information about matching and merging sources can be found in the manual by searching for match merge sources. To access the manual, click on the ? in just about any Reunion window or choose Help -> Contents.

"MATCH ALL' matches Source 1 to its matches (100+) AND all other Sources to their matches (some have 110+), etc. It doesn't allow me to do only ALL Source 1 and its matches before dealing with Source 2 and rest.

There is no way to do a merge in the way you are wanting.

However, since I now understand what you are wanting, I will add a request to our wish list to add that feature in a future version upgrade of Reunion. As with all feature requests, I cannot make any promises as to when or if it will be implemented. But, I can promise it will be considered as our developers work to improve Reunion
