How do I edit, merge, move, or delete codes?
Overview
Use the pencil beside Codes to open Manage Codes. From there you can add a subcode or memo, edit the label and definition, change the parent, merge equivalent codes, or delete selected codes. Merging moves existing coding assignments to the chosen target; deleting removes the selected code and must be reviewed carefully.
What to do
- Search or scroll to the code you need.
- Use Edit for label, definition, color, or parent changes.
- Use the split icon (before the memo icon) to divide one code into several; see How do I split one code into several?
- Use Merge only when two codes should become one analytical concept.
- Before bulk deletion, check evidence counts and whether child codes are affected.
