Merging components into one is useful while setting up Octo. Often customers have multiple components in different or same projects which they would like to manage as one cross-project component.
Merge components
Click on hamburger menu of component you want to merge and select Merge option
Search for the component you would like to merge into
Confirm merging components
Selected components are successfully merged.
Merging components from the same projects
If you choose to merge components from the same projects, all tickets linked to the component you're merging will be transformed into the component you're merging into. You're not going to lose any linked tickets.
Merging components from different projects
If you choose to merge components from different projects then components will become cross-project components. All changes to the cross-project components are being synchronized.
