When Civi import shows two contacts exist that match imported data, provide a link to merge them
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Would be convenient because otherwise merging two contacts by cid is not easy to do in the UI.

@MDemosWMF @Elbar53 This should hopefully be a little more convenient for you - if there are two matches for the contact in an import, there will now be a direct link to merge the two contacts from the import row. We could potentially do something similar if there are three matches as well (that would take you to a page showing the three contacts and you could merge them by selecting two at a time there), but I'm not sure how often that comes up. Is that something we should queue up as well or is it generally just two matches?

This is super helpful, thank you! I would say the 3 contacts would be helpful as well especially because those take a bit more time to merge.
