Entities can be merged. This might be required when two different entity codes refer to the same entity. After a merge operation, any data associated with the primary entity is retained. Any data that is associated with the secondary entity and not with the primary entity is merged with the primary entity’s data.

To check the results of the merge operation, go to the Entity Browser and enter ‘AGL’ to see the merged results:
