Merging matched persons
It looks like when you merge persons, you lose all the data for one or the other when you pick one to keep. My mother has great info on each "person". I would like to see a box beside pieces of data that says keep. That way I don't have to try to print one person, merge, and then enter the info all over again. If there is a way to do that now, PLease let me know as I have not found it.

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
I understand your suggested enhancement ...
But ...
That Said ...
Such is NOT necessary ...
As, if the individual/person, that has been worked on, by your Mother, is made the "Surviving" ("Record") individual/person; then, the "Details", on that individual/person, CAN be retained, provided one DOES NOT "Overwrite" such, by "Moving" across, with any "Details", from the individual/person, that is being "Deleted" (ie. "Archived") - ie. 'Right-Hand-Side' individual/person.
One DOES NOT, have to "Move" ANY "Detail" across, from the individual/person, that is being "Deleted" (ie. "Archived"), if one so desires - ie. 'Left-Hand-Side' individual/person.
And ...
As an aside ...
One, DO NOT, have the "Print" anything ...
All one needs to do, is to have BOTH individual/persons, open in different 'Tabs'/'Windows', that way one can just "Copy" and "Paste", whatever one wants; as, need be, that is much simpler.
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
