Merging entities maintained by an online system subject to selection of interactions with an entity being merged by users who performed the interactions with the entity being merged

Last updated:

Abstract:

An online system maintains user interactions with different entities, such as pages, maintained by the online system. The online system also allows an administrator of multiple entities to merge two or more of the entities. When merging entities, the online system allows the administrator to select specific interactions by the administrator with the entities to be merged that are subsequently associated with the entity resulting from the merge. The online system also presents an interface to other users who have interacted with the entities to be merged that allows the users to select individual interactions with the entities to be merged to be associated with the entity resulting from the merge. The interface allowing the user to select the individual interactions may be accessed via a notification sent to the user by the online system.
