In order to merge records, Users must have Update permission for the object in Access to Records Owned by Others Within the Team and Delete permission for the object in Record Access Permissions 

To merge records:

  1. Click the tab for an Object.
    A list of records is displayed.
  2. Select a record
  3. In the sidebar, click Actions
  4. Choose the Merge option
  5. Select the record to merge with
  6. For each field, choose the value you want to save.
  7. Click [Save].
    A single merged record is created.

What to do about "0" Values?
All of the defined fields are included as options records are merged. If a field is not included in the Form (but is still present in the Fields list), the field value will appear as 0 in the merge records page.
