The Utilities>Merge Sites menu command opens the Merge Sites<br />
window, a utility that can merge the data from two sites into a<br />
single site.<br />
This utility merges data sets from two sites. Merging the data<br />
sets will copy the information from the source site to the<br />
destination site.<br />
This can be accomplished either by holding down the Shift key<br />
and dragging one site on top of the other, or by opening the<br />
Merge Site Data window by selecting Utilities>Merge Sites…<br />
from the <strong>Flowlink</strong> menu.<br />
