This tool combines several vector layers of the same geometric type into a single layer.
The Merge tool can be selected by navigating the following path:
Tools > Vector Processing > Geometry > Merge
The first section requires you to select data layers of the same geometry type to run the Merge tool.
The second section requires you to select the range of data for the operation to be implemented. There are three options available.
- Select By Data Queries
- Select By Graphics
- All Data
For more information about these options and how to implement them, see Data Selection Methods.
The output is generated as a single polygon layer from multiple layers.
You can view the output after storing it. To save the output, you must enter the Output Layer Name and click on Save Data button. The saved output will be added as a new layer in the current map session, where you can apply styling as required. This output layer will also be available in 'My Data' section and can be used in any map session of interest.
