So you either have to look in each and every match and determine yourself which one to Replace, which one to Skip which is going to be difficult and it's going to be easy to make mistakes. I won't tell you which is newer and which is older when you select several files. Or if I drag this one here it's going to say an older item exists. Notice, on the other hand, if I select one file here, like this one, and I drag it, it's going to actually say a newer item already exists. You have to go through each file meticulously and know which one is the newer version. The problem with doing this is that it is hard to just have the newer versions survive during this type of merge. Notice also when I copy instead of the word Copy appearing here, ironically, I get a number instead. So now when I do it it seems to be doing the same thing but instead of files being moved out of Folder B, Folder B is going to remain untouched.

That gives me that little green Plus indicator there saying it's going to make a Copy of everything. Now an alternative is instead of just dragging and dropping into Folder A I hold the Option Key down. If I use Keep Both it means for every document that has the same name the one that's being moved would move there but with a new name, the word Copy being after the original name. If I selected Replace then it would replace all documents that have the same name with the ones I'm moving. Only new documents would be copied in there. So, for instance, if I hold the Option Key down and go Skip then it would keep all of the existing documents of the same name in that folder. If I check this that means whatever I select here for everything else that's going to be copied it's just going to apply that. The version that's sitting there in the folder would stay. So in this case it would be the opposite of Replace. If I hold the Option Key down, notice Keep Both changes to Skip. Or I can Replace which means that the one I'm moving replaces the one that was originally in the folder.
I could Stop which cancels all future actions. The options I have are to keep both which would take the one I'm moving and apply the word Copy to it. In this case it's going to tell me that Document 1 already exists. Then we're going to get a hit with this dialogue here. Simply drag them to Folder A and drop them in. I'm going to use Shift Click to select the range.
Now one pretty straight forward way to do this is to select all of the files in Folder B. I should get Document 1, which is the same between both, then the newer version of Document 2, the newer version of Document 3, and then both documents 4 & 5 in the final folder. So the idea is I want to merge these two. Folder B has a Document 5 that's not in Folder A. Folder A has a Document 4 that's not in Folder B. There's an older version here and in Folder B there's the newer version. You could see the older version is here in Folder B. Document 2 in Folder A is a newer version. They both have identical Document 1's and you could see here, I have the Preview Pane turned on so you can see what's inside. Here I've got inside of one folder two folders.
