- **URL**: https://apify.com/rowcraft/dataset-dedup-merge/changelog.md
- **Full Actor documentation**: https://apify.com/rowcraft/dataset-dedup-merge.md

## Changelog

### 1.0.5 (2026-11-03)

- Dataset schema: every optional field accepts an empty value, so a record with an empty optional field (for example no postal code) no longer stops the run.

### 1.0.4 (2026-10-29)

- README: Python and JavaScript examples with the official apify-client; example list updated.

### 1.0.3 (2026-10-26)

- README: form screenshot with the prefilled example; keyFields prefilled with id.

### 1.0.2 (2026-10-26)

- Prefilled input: two public sample datasets of the Rowcraft account, so the Store example runs without setup. Dataset IDs are a plain list now (the resource picker does not allow a prefilled example).

### 1.0.1 (2026-10-26)

- README: real Console screenshots and three public examples; first public release.

### 1.0.0 (2026-10-26)

- First release: merge 1 to 20 datasets of your own account, remove duplicates by key fields (dotted paths) or by the whole row, normalise before comparing, keep the first, last or most complete copy, fill empty fields from the duplicates, source columns, columns to keep or drop, duplicate report, dry run, Only new rows and notification.
