# Select the FreeCAD file you want to merge.
# Start with a currently open document.

===Limitations=== <!--T:4-->


* A project cannot be merged with itself, selecting the current file is not allowed.

* FreeCAD will automatically change the internal names and labels of objects to avoid name conflicts.
Since the names of the objects in the merged project will be changed to match the scheme in the existing project, links to external geometry may get lost.
