Merge duplicated IDs
There is a lot of IDs created by FamilySearch, specifically, when a couple has a lot of childrens, a new single ID is created by children for each one of the parents.
The suggestion is the automatization of the MERGE instead one by one.
We lost a lot of time in the merge process.

Hello sister @Laura Eugenia Zepeda Espinosa we are not happy that while working on your family tree you have seen duplicates, to join the duplicates you have to do the following:
Before starting
Get the identification number of the record to be merged.
Steps (website)
In Family Tree, open the Person page for one of the duplicate records.
If the details section is not displayed, click Details.
Click Merge by ID Number. It's in the Tools section on the right side of the page.
Enter the identification number with capital letters and the hyphen.
Click Continue. The merge screen opens in a new browser tab.
Left side: This is the possible duplicate. This is removed if the records are merged.
Right Side: This is the record you started from. This is saved if the records are merged.
Decide if the records concern the same person.
Compare the left and right sides to see if names, dates, places, and family members match.
Read the warning messages on the screen.
If the record on the left is the most accurate, click Change to rather keep it.
If the records do not relate to the same person, click Do Not Match. If the records are for the same person, click Yes, continue. If you're not sure, click Cancel.
In the surviving record, review all information that has a green background. When you complete the merge, the highlighted information will be copied to the surviving record. If this information should not be saved to the surviving record, click Undo.
Click Continue.
Finish the merge:
Review the surviving record.
If everything looks as it should, click Finish Merge.
To explain the reason for combining these records, select a suggested reason justification, or enter one of your own.
Click Save.
Immediately after the merge and for a short time, an "undo" option is available. It allows you to easily undo the combination of the two records.
I hope sister that this Knowledge Article has helped you to solve your problem, thanks for everything you do.
