# Merging Entries

To merge two text-based entries, first select them both in the Sidebar. Then use the "Merge Entries" item in the Entry menu. MacJournal will make a new entry with the text of both entries and then get rid of the previous entries. The entries are ordered as they are in the sidebar so an entry higher up in the sidebar will have its text appear first in the merged entry.

# Splitting Entries

To split a text-based entry, first select it in the Sidebar. Then place the insertion point in the text where you want the split to happen. Next, use the "Split" menu item in the Entry menu. MacJournal will make a new entry containing the text after the insertion point and remove that text from the original entry.
