7.5 Merge Activity

In a workflow that supports parallel processing, the Merge activity synchronizes the incoming branches in the flow. The Merge activity is used in conjunction with the Branch activity, which allows two users to act on different areas of the work item in parallel. After the users have completed their work, the Merge activity synchronizes the incoming branches.

A workflow can have multiple Branch activities, but each Branch activity must have an associated Merge activity.
