Spring Data JPA detached entity back to context

I have Person entity with lazily fetched List<Contact> contacts.

I got my person entity object and some time later I want to get person's contacts (obviously I can do that only if entity is managed).

What is the best way to merge/put to context person entity in Spring Data JPA?

This answers my question:

Person managedPerson = personRepository.save(person)

save method checks if person entity is new. If it is so, it persists entity, otherwise it merges it and returns back managed entity
