    Hello,

    If I'm not wrong for standard Lead, Account and Contact OOB functionality exists. If you need it for custom entities I'm afraid you will have to develop such functionality.

    As Andrii says the OOB ones should merge for your older records

    But your second point

    Have you created and enabled duplicate detection rules? This is under Data Management

    You would set criteria for matching and on save it would warn if a record matches.

    Hello,

    It seems that I missed release of "Cases merging" feature. Based on following article it was released in 2014 - www.microsoft.com/.../merge-similar-cases.aspx

    Anyway, what kind of issues do you experience?
