+=== Merge child changes to parent ===
+The '''Flatten''' function allows you to merge changes in the child project into its parent.
+For example, imagine three projects in a hierarchy:
+* Parent
+** Child
+*** Grandchild
+You have to select the project on the lowest level (in this case, the grandchild) and then click '''Flatten'''. As a result, all changes made in the grandchild project are merged into the child project. Depending on whether you’ve made changes in both child projects on the same item, the changes from the grandchild overwrite changes in the child.
+Then, you can use flatten until you reach the highest parent-level project.
+Before flattening the projects, please remember to back up all projects you wish to merge. Remember that sync filters of all entities are joined into one file, therefore, if you changed the grandchild's sync filter, flattening will overwrite sync filters in the child and parent project.
