What happens when you merge?

‍

Merging combines two folders into one. The destination folder becomes the “surviving” folder, while the source folder disappears. All its content is moved inside the destination.

Why merging saves time for creative teams

• Personal stylists: Merge duplicate client look books into one place.
• Interior designers: Combine sub-folders of drawings and material samples.
• Wedding & event planners: Merge planning folders created by different team members.

Rules for merges and hierarchy

• The destination folder’s permissions always dominate.
• Direct invites persist for folders and files.
• File-level overrides (e.g., Commenter invites on a file) persist.
• Folder-level overrides do not persist (permissions of new folder applies).
• The 3-level depth rule applies; merges that would break it are blocked.

Examples of common merge scenarios

• Merging Folder X into Folder Y: Folder X disappears; all contents move to Folder Y.
• Merging a sub-folder into another: Surviving folder keeps permissions.
