You can merge two codes in Delve. Merging will combine the name and descriptions of codes. The merge codes will have all the snippets from both codes.

In this example, I'm merging 2 codes: "Time" and "Deadline"


Step 1) Go to to the "Codes" Panel on the right side of the screen when looking at a transcript

Step 2) Drag the code you want to merge on top of the code you want to merge with.
Step 3) Drop the code onto the area labeled 'Merge'.
Step 4) Confirm that you want to merge the codes. 

Note: You cannot undo a merge.

Be sure of your choice when you decide to merge 2 codes.

Frequently Asked Questions for Merging Codes

Q: What happens to the titles and descriptions when codes are merged in Delve?

A: When codes are merged in Delve, their titles and descriptions are combined into a newly merged code. This new code will contain the concatenated titles and descriptions of the original codes.

Q: What happens to the snippets when codes are merged in Delve?

A: When you merge codes in Delve, all snippets linked to the original codes will be included in the newly merged code. This allows you to retain all coded data in the merged result.

Q: Can I unmerge codes in Delve?

A: No, once codes are merged in Delve, the action is permanent and cannot be undone. It's recommended to be certain about your decision before proceeding with this action.

Q: Can I merge a code that has subcodes?

A: The code you are selecting to merge (dragging) cannot have subcodes. However, the code that you are merging into (destination code) may have subcodes. If the code you want to merge has subcodes, you must first remove these child codes before proceeding with the merge operation.
