# Merge person

Available in VPC

Multiple people believed to be the same individual are merged into a single representative person. Assets, scenes, and thumbnails linked to the people being merged are transferred to the representative person, and the merged individuals will no longer appear in search results.

You can check the candidates for merging using [Get similar person](/docs/en/mi-similar-persons).

              Caution

              

Person merge operations cannot be undone. Before merging, review the results of the [Get similar person](/docs/en/mi-similar-persons) and [Get person details](/docs/en/maiu-person-details).
