Auto Merge

Where to find it

• Authoring Settings > Recording > Simulation / Documentation category > Auto Merge setting

Purpose

If this setting is selected (it is deselected by default) then SAP Enable Now will automatically merge screenshots during recording, where appropriate. This effectively combines multiple Steps into a single Step, which will contain the Screenshot from the first Step, and all macros from the merged steps.

Use

This is the same function as provided by the Tools > Bulk Changes > Merge Screens (or ...Merge Selected Screens) available during editing. However, if this is done automatically during recording the 'merged' screenshots are not available, so if merging has accidentally removed key information visible one of the merged screenshots, there is no way to get it back without re-recording. By contrast, if merging is performed manually during editing, you have the option to undo your changes (before saving/exiting) if you realize screens should not have been merged.
