Upon being merged, all enrollments in the child course are replicated in the master course, and any future enrollment changes in the child course are also synchronized automatically with the master course.

If you have students who need to access a course outside of the normal term, you can override their enrollments. They'll have access to the course until the date you set.
You can't automatically restore users to courses after you remove them. However, you can enroll users again.
