What's the difference between Explain Record and Merge and Split Record Views?

We've noticed it seems like the Merge and Split views contains everything in the Explain Record view in addition to the ability to edit and merge/split.

Wondering if there's anything else fundamentally different between them?

Best Answer

Hello Josh,

Yes this is the fundamental difference: explain record > to display/understand vs merge or split duplicates > to take action.

Per the documentation's words:

  • Explain Record for a fuzzy-matched record to graphically view the matches and consolidated values.

  • Merge or Split Duplicates to reorganize groups of fuzzy-matched records.
