Ever had to combine 2 menus using the default WordPress Menu editor. Manually it can take a while to copy over all the details from 1 menu to another.
This does all the leg work for you by copying all the elements of the menu into the menu you are currently editing, keeping its sub-menus.
The menu you copy from is never changed. Merge Menus works with classic menus (Appearance > Menus), not the Navigation block.
