Merge albums
The Merge Albums command lets you merge multiple albums into a single album. For example, if you create a “Cars”
album, and then later inadvertently create an “Automobiles” album for the same photos, you can merge both albums
into one. When you merge albums, all photos are placed into one album and the other album is removed. Photos are
placed in the order they appear in the Albums panel. You can rearrange the order before or after you merge.
1 In the Albums panel, select the albums you want to merge. Click the album name to select an album, Shift-click to
select contiguous albums, or Control-click to select noncontiguous albums.
2 right-click/control-click and choose Merge Albums.
3 From the list, choose the album into which you want to merge the selected albums, and click OK.
