Merging and splitting projects

Merging one Prism project into another

To merge an entire Prism project into another:

Click on the New button on the Sheet toolbar, select Merge in File, and pick a file (which must not be open). All sheets from that file will be appended to your current project. Prism places an asterisk (*) in front of the name of each merged sheet.

To merge just one graph and its related sheets into another Prism project:

Copy a graph from one Prism project and then paste it into a Layout in another project. Prism will ask whether you want to maintain a link to the original Prism file so that changes in the original will update in the current file, or whether you want to merge the graph and data into the new file, or paste just a picture of the graph.

Splitting a Prism project

To split part of a Prism project into a new file:

Choose Save Special from the File section of the Prism toolbar, and then Save Family As. This will save the current sheet along with all related sheets. Then delete the unwanted sheets from the original project. The easiest way to delete several sheets is to go to the Gallery for a section and click the checkbox on several sheets. Then press Delete. When you delete a data table, you have the option to delete all info, results, and graph sheets linked to the selected data tables at the same time.
