<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, you’re so right—all I have to do is add the new Top Container to one instance in each of the subsequent records after it’s initially created and then can do a merge feature within the Top Containers of that collection now instead of
individually. The top containers being linked to multiple resources through me for a loop at first, but it’s of course that simple.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What aspect of the merge function wouldn't meet your requirements? I haven't used it for dealing with this specific situation, but it seems like it would work perfectly. Either create a new box A to merge into or update one of the existing
top container records with the appropriate data and merge the others into that one.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We are condensing several boxes from collections into multiple-collection boxes. For example, Collection# 1 Box 1, Collection #2 Box 5, and Collection# 3, Box 10 will now all be

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Is there a way to simply replace all instances of Box 1 in Collection 1’s resource record with Box A, maintaining any child information like folder numbers in the Instances, without
having to individually click on each archival object and update the instance?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">There aren’t enough archival objects to warrant exporting as a CSV, editing the file, and then importing it back, but just enough to sometimes make it a hassle in certain resource
records. Since these new top containers are linked to multiple resource records, I’m also wary of it creating duplicates that way.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Essentially it would be helpful if there was basically a way in the Top Containers page to “replace” a box with another, though I don’t see anything like that, and merge isn’t exactly
what we’re looking for.<o:p></o:p></p>
