Regarding the question “How to merge two channels”, the best advice I’ve found is old and is here:

> [@How to merge channels or move messages?](https://forum.mattermost.com/t/how-to-merge-channels-or-move-messages/2193):

> After some month of experience using Mattermost - which we actually like - we would like to reorganize and simplify the channels we use. Unfortunately I didn’t find a way to merge channels or move messages to another channel (I found that feature request [Move a message to another channel – Mattermost Feature Proposal Forum](https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/11080068-move-a-message-to-another-channel)). So currently there seems to be no built-in way of doing this, unfortunately. Is there a hacky way of moving messages or merging channels? Thanks for any hints!
