# Merge a Baseline into a Stream wizard

This wizard helps you merge changes from a baseline into a target stream. Merge uses a work area to apply changes and process conflicts. This enables you to safely merge, build, and test before delivering the merge results to a target stream in a repository.

Merge changes into this target stream | Displays the target stream for the merge. To select a different stream do one of the following: Click Select and select one of the options in the Select Stream dialog box.
