# Merging Duplicate Clients

If you come across the same client in your software *twice*, you'll want to merge those duplicate accounts to omit any future confusion!

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Access the client's Client Log

Go to *Manage* > *Clients* > *Search & select* the client name using the search box provided.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Select **Merge with Another Client**

Click the **Merge with Another Client** button at the bottom of the Client Log.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Keep the contact information on the right

Make sure the contact information you'd like to keep is on the right-hand side of the window and click **Merge**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Swap contact information if needed

If the contact information you'd like to keep is on the left-hand side of the window, click **Swap** *before* clicking **Merge**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Repeat for additional duplicate accounts

If the client shows up in your list more than twice, repeat the process until they only have one account left.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Similar steps are taken upon trying to "delete" a client. [See more about "deleting" clients here!](/clients/deleting-a-client.md)
