← Back to Features Merging

Combine groups, temporarily.

Merging is what makes Cohort different. Two or more groups can combine into one shared space with its own chat and events, for a set amount of time — built for the moments a few groups want to do something together without permanently absorbing into each other.

  1. 1

    Propose a merge

    Any group can send a merge request to another group, with a proposed length of time attached.

  2. 2

    The other group accepts

    Once accepted, both groups' members can see and take part in the merged space.

  3. 3

    Add more groups anytime

    An already-merged group can invite another group into the same merge later — same request-and-accept flow, and once accepted, everyone joins the same shared space together.

  4. 4

    Shared chat and events

    The merge gets its own group chat and can host its own events, shared by everyone involved and kept separate from each group's regular chat.

  5. 5

    It expires on its own

    When the merge window ends, every group in it splits back apart automatically — no cleanup required on anyone's part.
