-====== Post Merge Settings ======
+====== Post Merge Settings (Dynamics ONLY) ======
+  * When duplicate records are merged, their related entity records are re-linked to the surviving master; this can cause duplicates to be introduced
+  * Our optional “Post-Merge” Module avoids this challenge, optionally de-activating or deleting identical duplicate records, so you can rest assured that your data is trustworthy and fit for use:
+    * Be confident in your data integrity, as all linked data will be duplicate free after merging
+    * Save time by avoiding manually deduping related entity records
+    * Achieve higher levels of trust in the related data linked to your Golden Record
+**NOTE:** Please see [[admin_functionality:settings:custom_settings|Advanced Settings]] for information on how to activate the relevant entities for de-duplication.
