1st Error:
“AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED WHILE MERGING PAGES. THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY YOUR ATTEMPT TO MERGE TOO MANY PAGES.”

2nd Error:
“THESE PAGES CAN’T BE MERGED BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO FAR APART. EACH PAGE CAN ONLY HAVE ONE PLACE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. DON’T USE THIS TOOL TO MERGE DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF YOUR BUSINESS.
