Using GIMP 2.8.22, Can I Undo "Merge Layers"?

2) Yes. But It should rarely be used, if ever. Flattening is done automatically and on the fly when you export to a "flat" format (JPG, PNG...). The "normal" workflow is to keep an XCF with all the layers/selections/paths, and export a JPG/PNG from that for "presentation" (web, print...).

Thank you!
