Re: Import & Merge tool: Difference between 'Merge Original' and 'Merge Imported'

The difference between   'Merge Original' or 'Merge Imported' is indeed
what IDs are kept as the final object.  This is the Gramps ID.  If you like
to keep your starting db the way you have set it up, use Merge Original.
If you think that the imported tree is better, has better IDs etc, then use
the imported merge.
