## Definition

**Assembly:** Mintlify.Core.dll

**Namespace:** Mintlify.Core.Models

## Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
Mintlify.Core.Models.MergeOptions
```

## Summary

Defines merging as combining two navigation structures into one integrated structure.
Options control how different aspects of the merge are handled.

## Constructors

### <Icon icon="hammer" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} className="mr-2" /> .ctor

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public MergeOptions()
```

### <Icon icon="hammer" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} className="mr-2" /> .ctor <Badge color="gray">Inherited</Badge>

<Note>Inherited from `object`</Note>

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public Object()
```

## Properties

### <Icon icon="tag" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} className="mr-2" /> AddRootPagesToGettingStarted

Gets or sets whether to add newly discovered root-level pages to the "Getting Started" group
instead of the root level. This is used when merging discovered navigation into template navigation.
When true, new root-level string pages from the source will be added to the "Getting Started" group.
When false (default), new root-level pages are added at the root level.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public bool AddRootPagesToGettingStarted { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

Type: `bool`

### <Icon icon="tag" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} className="mr-2" /> CombineEmptyGroups

Gets or sets whether to combine groups with empty string names at the same navigation level.
When true, multiple groups with empty names will be merged into a single group.
When false (default), each empty group remains separate, matching Mintlify's behavior.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public bool CombineEmptyGroups { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

Type: `bool`
