:When exactly two people are selected, choose '''Edit ->Merge...''' to invoke the {{man label|Merge}} dialog.
The dialog allows you to make a decision on whether or not the selected records should be merged. If you decide that the records should not be merged, despite similar names, you may click {{man button|Cancel}} button to close the dialog without making any changes. Expanding the ''"Detailed Selection"'' and the ''"Context Information"'' fields on the bottom left (fig. 5.27) shows more information about the people to be merged.
