Merge hubs

If you are a Hub admin, you can merge two hubs together to unify data and projects. Reasons you might want to do this:

• Multiple hubs were created for an organization when only one or much fewer are needed.
• Two hubs with similar content should be combined.

What you need to know before you start

• You must be a hub admin for both the source and destination hub.
• Both hubs must be Collaborative editing hubs.
• Members of both hubs should save their work and exit Fusion and the Fusion web client before you start the merge. The hubs will be in read-only mode during the merge.
• If you have created manufacturing tools in the assets library or the standard components library, you must export their data first. When the merge is finished, you can upload this data into the destination hub. See Exporting and Importing Libraries for Hub Merge.
• If there are conflicting item names (for example, groups), the names from the source hub will be appended with the source hub ID.
• Shared links are not maintained. You'll have to recreate them after the merge.
• A hub merge can take a while to complete, depending on the amount of data the hubs contain. Choose a time when members aren't likely to be working, and let them know before you start.
• A hub merge is irreversible and can't be cancelled or paused once underway.

Merge hubs

1. In the Fusion web client, click your profile in the upper right of the page.

2. Click Settings to show the list of hubs you are a member of.

3. In the list, click the hub you want to merge.

   This shows the actions available for the hub: Merge Hub, Set Default, and Leave Hub.

4. Click Merge Hub.

5. When prompted, select a destination hub.

6. When prompted, confirm that you have read the pre-requisites for merge.

7. Click Start merge.

   The merge process begins and may take several minutes or a few hours.

8. To check the status of the merge, open Fusion, go to the destination hub, and in the Application bar, click Job Status .

When the merge finishes, the source hub will be closed and no longer accessible. Tell members the name the destination hub so they can resume their work.
