# Address Merge

Now you can easily control how addresses from duplicate records are merged, moreover you can also preserve additional addresses when needed. DeDupeD provides a range of address merge criteria to tailor how addresses from subordinate records are merged into a master record. Whether it's saving all addresses, selecting the most complete data, prioritizing based on specific fields, or considering creation and modification dates. These options ensure flexibility and precision in managing address data for Account, Contact, and Lead records.

Once you have configured your desired address merging criterion you can proceed to merge Address fields:

* Navigate to **Sales Hub → Contact Entity →** Select and open the record for which you want to detect and merge address fields based on your desired Address merge criterion, here we will merge Address fields based on **“Most Complete Address”** criterion → Click on the **“Show Duplicates”** button.
