### Merging Profiles {#merging-profiles}

If you own two or more user accounts, Mendix recommends merging the profiles of these user accounts with each other. This saves you from having to maintain multiple profiles, and your community contributions will be stored with the one profile you actively use. As a result, you will have a stronger single Mendix Profile, and you will not have to keep track of your progress scattered in multiple profiles in the platform.

This saves you from having to maintain multiple profiles, and your community contributions will be stored with the one profile you actively use. As a result, you will have a stronger single Mendix profile, and you will not have to keep track of your progress scattered in multiple profiles in the platform.

The **Merge Profile** process merges the information associated with the merged profiles, resulting in a single Mendix Profile with two or more user accounts related to it. For details on what information ends up in the resulting merged profile, see the [Results of Merge Process](#merge-profile-result) section.

For details on what information ends up in the resulting merged profile, see the [Results of Merge Process](#merge-profile-result) section.

These are the prerequisites for the profile merge actions:

* Own two or more user accounts.
* Have platform access with at least one of these user accounts.
* Be able to receive emails for the user profiles that will be merged. This can be your email address used to log in or a profile email address.

{{% alert color="warning" %}}
You should also prepare for the merge by adding your new account to the relevant apps of your old account. Mendix recommends doing this so that you do not lose access to the apps in your old account, and so you do not need a new invitation to those apps to gain access.
{{% /alert %}}

Before you start with a new profile merge action, it is important to understand what scenarios are possible, and what it means for the profile merge process. The following starting scenarios are possible:

* **All user accounts give you access to the Mendix Platform** – If you have access to the platform with all your user accounts, you are able to initiate a merge after signing in with any of the accounts. For the other profile, a confirmation email message is sent that enables starting the merge action.
* **One of the user accounts gives you access to the Mendix Platform** – If you have access to only one of your user accounts, the profile merge process can only be initiated from that account. Furthermore, the user account you signed in with determines what profile information ends up in the resulting merged profile in the case of properties where the system cannot determine the information that should be kept. For the other profile, a confirmation email message is sent that enables starting the merge action.
* **None of the user accounts gives you access to the Mendix Platform** – You should own at least one user account that provides access to the Mendix Platform.

{{% alert color="warning" %}}
If you do not have access to any of the email addresses linked to the user accounts/profiles that you want to merge, and you cannot log in with the Mendix Profile you want to merge, click **Create Support Request** to go to Mendix Support. Mendix Support will contact you to change the profile recovery email. Once this is done, you will be able to follow the next steps.

#### Important Considerations

{{% alert color="warning" %}}
When merging user profiles, a merge confirmation is needed for the user account you are not signed in with. The verification code that you need to confirm the merge operation will arrive by email. Therefore, you must be able to receive the verification email in an email inbox that is associated with the user account or the associated profile.
{{% /alert %}}
Please keep the following in mind before merging your Mendix profiles:

* When you merge Mendix profiles as a result of moving from one company to another, Marketplace components uploaded under your previous company’s account are not transferred automatically to the merged profile.
To request a transfer, file a support ticket listing the components. The transfer will be completed once approved by the Company Admin of your previous company.
* If you do not have access to any of the email addresses linked to the user accounts/profiles that you want to merge, and you cannot log in with the Mendix profile you want to merge, click **Create Support Request** to go to Mendix Support. Mendix Support will contact you to change the profile recovery email. Once this is done, you will be able to follow the next steps.
* When merging user profiles, a merge confirmation is needed for the user account you are not signed in with. The verification code that you need to confirm the merge operation will arrive by email. Therefore, you must be able to receive the verification email in an email inbox that is associated with the user account or the associated profile.
* Prepare for the merge by adding your new account to the relevant apps of your old account. Mendix recommends doing this so that you do not lose access to the apps in your old account, and so you do not need a new invitation to those apps to gain access.

#### Merge Result {#merge-profile-result}

The result of the profile merge process is that the information of the profiles is merged into one profile. The information that can be added to the profile will be associated with the resulting Mendix Profile. However, in a situation where there is conflicting data for the two profiles to be merged, the system uses the profile data of the user account you are signed in with.
