 Make sure you follow the instructions in order.
 
 1. Start both editions of CodeSnip. We'll call them A and B. If only one edition has existing snippets, let that be CodeSnip A.

 3. Switch to CodeSnip A and export your snippets to a single file by using the _Snippets | Export Snippets_ menu option. In the resulting dialogue box select all your snippets. Specify a file name (say `A.csexp`) and click OK.
-4. Switch to CodeSnip B. If it has snippets that you want to merge into CodeSnip A, then export those snippets using the same method as step 2. Name the file `B.csexp`.
-5. While still in CodeSnip B, import the snippets from `A.csexp` that you exported from CodeSnip A. Do this using the _Snippets | Import Snippets_ menu option. This displays the _Import Wizard_. Follow the instructions in the wizard to perform the import (it has a help topic if you get stuck). Importantly the wizard lets you resolve any name conflicts between imported and existing snippets. **Note:** This import can take a _long_ time, especially if you have a lot of snippets. The GUI will flash horribly during the process!

 7. If you exported snippets from CodeSnip B then switch back to CodeSnip A and import the snippets from `B.csexp`. Use the same method described in steps 5 & 6.
 8. All done. If you close and reopen both editions you should see the merged databases.
 
-If anything went wrong you can restore the database(s) from the backups you took at step 2. Use the _Database | Restore user database_ menu option to do this. If you need to clear a database then it will really help if you have CodeSnip v4.20.0 or later, because that version introduced the _Database | Delete User Database_ option that clears all the snippets from a database. If you have an earlier version you're out of luck and will have to delete the snippets one by one! Once again **take a backup** before deleting anything.
