Merge Recommendations is a powerful tool designed to streamline the process of handling submissions, ensuring accuracy and maintaining the integrity of your ballots. Forget the days of managing nominations through spreadsheets — Merge Recommendations do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

Accessing Merge Recommendations:

  • To begin, log into the platform and navigate to the specific ballot in question. Once the ballot is loaded, locate the left-hand navigation bar and scroll down to the "Submissions" section.

Using Merge Recommendations:

  • In the "Submissions" section, tabs will appear at the top, including "Overview," "Winners," "Merge Recommendation," and "Fraud Recommendations." Click on the "Merge Recommendations" tab.

  • The system will load and analyze all submissions, suggesting potential merges based on spelling, grammar, and other criteria.

  • Review the suggestions provided by the system, which may include identifying variations in spelling, punctuation, or grammar. The system will recommend the top submission based on the number of votes it received.

  • Select the appropriate submission from the suggested merges or manually type the correct spelling in the text field.

  • Click the "Merge" button to consolidate the selected submissions. This action helps to improve the overall quality and consistency of the content.

  • If the system has recommended a merge that is incorrect, hit the "Remove" button.

Iterative Process:

  • As you progress through the merge recommendations, the system will continue to offer suggestions for merging. Follow the same process of selecting the correct submission and merging them to enhance the accuracy of the content.

Group Sorting:

  • For efficient management, you can also sort submissions by groups. This feature allows you to focus on one group at a time, streamlining the merging process and ensuring thorough attention to detail.

Conclusion:

Effectively utilizing the merge recommendations feature enhances the quality and coherence of your "Best of" platform. By following the outlined steps, you can efficiently manage submissions, correct discrepancies, and provide a seamless and accurate experience for your readers, audience, or viewers.
