Mark,
I recently upgraded to 3.12 and didn't do anything extra to the standard upgrade but I do have the option - see below:

hi. i'm new to the list and qgis, apologies if this has been asked. we're
working with the us census tract files available from census.gov <http://census.gov> here:
https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php?year=2019 <https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php?year=2019&layergroup=Census+Tracts> &layergroup
=Census+Tracts
they are published as 54 separate zip files, one per state. we would like to
combine them into a single dataset. i found a lot of pages on the web that
suggest using qgis for that purpose. they all start with
Click on the Vector menu, Data Management tools, Merge Shapefiles to
One...
i just installed qgis 3.12.1, but my vector / data management tools menu
doesn't have that option. has that tool been removed, or is there a plugin i
need to install or maybe a different version?
is that data already available in a combined format from somewhere, or is
there a better way to do this?
thanks
