If user accounts have been merged previously, you can split them using the Split Merged Users option on the account-level Users page.
You can split previously merged users within 180 days of the user merge. However, merged users cannot be fully restored to their previous state. If the Split Merged Users option does not display, the 180-day limit has expired and the user can no longer be split from the previous merge. Users can also be split using the Canvas Users API.
