Merging a Department

When merging one or more departments into another department (the target department), all the users, subdepartments, categories, templates, and content items (documents, assessments, and campaigns) assigned to the departments to be merged will be reassigned to the target department. The departments to be merged will then be deleted, with the target department remaining.

Important: A department that is merged into another is not placed in the Archive and can only be restored by restoring a backup database.
