Auto-merge added books if they already exist: Overwrite existing duplicate formats - is checked.

I don't get it. I seriously don't get it. Please help
Library B: sort on Title. Do you see an alternate Author spelling?
Overwrite only works when there is an EXACT match. one tiny difference and you get a separate record. Just Merge those: Select Destination, then hold control-key down: then select the dup: (release the key) Tap 'M'
