Another choice in "Review Merge"

When reviewing a merge for a possible duplicate profile, "not a match" is the only option.

I suggest a button for "match, but issues to be resolved before merge." Or "match, but more research needed."

For example, vitals that are matching but details differ. Details that might be important sometimes disappear in a merge.

Or maybe I don`t have time to do it now.

Prevent another user from clicking "not a match" and losing the link to that profile.

In my dreams, there would be a choice to "merge whole family" or "merge spouse" too!

thank you

    The link is not lost if someone says "not a match": it's still there in the change log.

    I agree that it would be nice to be able to reduce the complicated drudgery of merging entire families. Perhaps there could be some sort of checkboxes for profiles that need to be merged, and then you could work through those merges as you found the time and energy?
