1. Help Center
2. Update File Data Overview

Users with the permission to edit Google Drive files will have the option to Remerge File Data. To utilize this feature, users must possess Google File sharing roles such as Owner, Editor, Content Manager, or Contributor. Once a user has remerged the document, it will update any pre-existing data with the latest information in the document, while also preserving any manual text updates made to the file. The result will be the same file but with a new version, allowing users to revert any changes by restoring a previous version through Google Drive.

Note: Due to limitations only Google Slides will not have the ability to remerge.

Additionally, any merge fields that were not populated on the initial merge will not populate in a remerge. If you need this data merged, please use the Regenerate option.
