By merging videos, you can lead two steps to the same final step. This means you can provide a more cohesive narrative or offer diverse perspectives, keeping viewers engaged. Merges will look like this in your canvas: [![](https://help.vidalytics.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Zight+2024-08-07+at+15_16_18.jpg)](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1137687151/69aa5fa2f0e95e32085638f5/Zight+2024-08-07+at+15_16_18.jpg?expires=1778631300&signature=027b117c8594441879ba2829bfed1c434997f038fef9461544cab7edad8ad96f&req=dSEkEc92moBaWPMW1HO4zXV%2BSGDhvnzOVryLcg9TZZsOrhkJmWsd1LSMnkSD%0A4DlUOWGaf7k2vM3sNmM%3D%0A) ### **Loops** With Loops, you can guide your viewers back to a previous step within your Interactive Smart Vid. This allows for a more dynamic and customizable viewing experience, enabling you to revisit specific content segments based on viewer choices or preferences. ### **How To Set Them Up** For both Merges and Loops, all you have to do is select the video from the options already present in the video flow, as opposed to adding a new one from your library, keeping in mind when in your Smart Vids flow they are relative to each other.
