Andréa (fernandie) | 152 comments Instructables.com has published a lot of books that credit just "Instructables Authors," or some variation thereof, as the author, but they're currently on Goodreads under at least 6 different variations:
Instructables
Instructables Com
Instructables.com
Instructables Authors
Authors and Editors of Instructables
Authors of Instructables

As there are more than 60 works involved, it would be a laborious process to update the author on every work to be consistent. Is there a way to merge all the variations together into one author profile?

I'm not sure which one should be the default, since the Authors of Instructables profile has the most works attributed to it and the author listing on Amazon is "Instructables Authors."

Merged all to the first (and simplest) one.

Andréa (fernandie) | 152 comments Thanks! I tried to figure out how to do it myself, but I only searched in here; I definitely didn't remember it was in the manual! I'll keep that method in mind for next time.
