You can now stack data sources on top of each other in Looker Studio blends.

The new UNION operator combines tables vertically. Joins were already available and combine them horizontally.

Google renamed "join" to "merge", since the term now covers both blend types.

Watch out: this is a true UNION, not UNION ALL. Rows shared by the tables get deduplicated. To keep every row, add a static dimension, for example the table name.

The lower part of the merge setup lets you map fields across sources that don't share the same data model.
