Accidentally ‘ignored all’ contact merge

I went to merge contacts and instead of clicking merge all I accidentally clicked ‘ignore all’. How can I undo this and start again? Thanks in advance!

To undo accidentally ignoring duplicate contacts, create a duplicate contact on purpose. You’ll then see the “duplicates found” button in the Contacts app at the top under your card. Tap it to find another button to see previously ignored duplicates. Unfortunately I don’t see a way to undo the ignore but you can now see a list of them and choose whether to merge each one individually.
