What is the difference when I select "merge answers" vs what I get with the variables just passing?

At a glance

The community member is asking about the "Merge Answers" option in their bot, which they don't understand the utility of. Another community member explains that the Merge Answers option allows you to merge the answers collected from a linked bot to the current bot, which is useful if you want to collect answers from multiple bots and send them all at once to a third-party app or collect all the answers into a unified results table.

The second community member also asks if there is a way to save answers not in variables, and the first community member clarifies that they are saving all their answers to variables for other purposes, so they don't need to worry about the Merge Answers option in their case.

In my bot I send all of the variables to some links and sheets but I account for all of them- I don't understand the utility of the "Merge Answers" option. Can someone explain it to me- I looked in the documentation too.

Like in what case does toggling it on or off affect anything?

Thanks!

Anything unclear about this?

I guess- is there a way to save answers not in variables? Is this just how the bot collects the button presses or text responses even if not being saved to a variable? I guess I am saving all of my answers to variables for other things so I don't need to worry about this on what I am doing.
