Once clicked, it ensures this merge request is merged when the build is successful. +When clicking the button, the merge parameters are also saved to allow the merge user to edit the commit message and remove the source branch if he can remove that branch. + +When this feature is enabled, a message will appear to notify other users. Also a note is posted on the thread. + + + +## Canceling + +The automatic merge can be disabled by clicking the `Cancel Automatic Merge` button, or when a new commit is added to the Merge Request. In the former case a note is posted. In the latter case a user able to merge can enable the feature again. + + + +A failed build does not reset the automatic build so a build can be retried. |
