Hi Stephan
maybe I'm blind, but I can't find the button to merge records. The
manual says to search for a record, select the ones you want to merge
and click the Button "Merge selected" at the top. But I don't see that
button. I'm using version 18.05
You need to search in Koha menu "Cataloging" using the "Cataloging
search" (NOT "Search the catalogue"!). In the search result you need to
select the boxes at the left of the records you want to merge. Finally
you click the button "Merge selected" at the top of the results page and
start merging.

The process is also described here:

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael

Oh man, that would have been the *perfect* example in my "Designing
software for supportability" talk at Kohacon.

Maybe that ought to be added to the manual.
