How do I split a format to a new book record?

ownedbycats · 06-14-2020, 02:06 PM

While merging some duplicate book records of different formats together, I goofed up and merged the wrong ones.

I was able to split them by saving the epub to disk and re-adding it to the library. For future reference, is there a better way to do this that I missed?

create an empty book record, merge onto it, and delete the unwanted formats.
