# Merging posts on FeatureOS

_By Swathy · Oct 8, 2024_

FeatureOS offers you the ability to merge multiple posts (up to 30), effectively consolidating similar posts with distinct phrasing.

If you've encountered situations where multiple posts convey identical suggestions but differ in wording, our **smart suggestions for merging based on relevancy,** simplifies this process for you.

### Merging from a Single post view

1.  Start by accessing your Admin **Dashboard**.
    
2.  Choose the post you intend to merge with another.
    
3.  Locate the **Merge** icon situated among the icons on the top.

4.  This will open a modal which,
    
    -   **Shows a list of similar posts to merge - smart suggestions based on relevancy.**
        
    -   Or you can search and select the posts to merge.

5.  From the selected list of posts you can set a different parent post if needed or remove a post and add a different post.

### Result of merging posts

1.  The original post will display a link to the parent post, indicating the merger.
    
2.  All comments from the original post will be transferred to the new post.
    
3.  Vote counts associated with both posts will be combined and attributed to the new post.
