+   This tool automatically collapses populations together based on FLOCK score profiles.
+
+-----
+
+.. class:: warningmark
+
+*FLOCK score profiles are assigned based on quartile binning of the data. As always, use this tool with caution and be critical of your results*
+
+-----
+
+**Input**
+
+FLOCK or Cross Sample output - a table of the fluorescence intensities for each event and the population associated with each, as well as the file containing the score profiles for each FLOCK population.
+
+**Output**
+
+The input file with selected populations replaced by the indicated population. This tool also generates a report.
+
+-----
+
+**Example**
+
+*Input* - fluorescence intensities per marker and population ID per event::
