Merge Two Lists

You can merge two adjacent lists of the same type into one list. This is useful if you have:

  • Imported content that was perhaps not formatted correctly in the original version, resulting in lists being broken down into smaller separate lists.

  • Two lists that were previously separated by paragraphs or other content that has now been deleted.

To merge two adjacent lists:

  1. Select any list item or step in the first list that you want to merge. The first list is the list that is closest to the top of the topic.

  2. Select the element that represents the list as a whole in the Element Structure Menu and choose Go to element.

    For example, if in step 1 you selected a step, then you should select the procedure element in the element structure menu.

  3. Select the Merge toolbar icon.

    Paligo will merge the list with the next list as long as:

    • The current list and the next list are of the same type

    • There is no content between the current list and the next list.
