Merging notes on a Mac

[TayaM 2]

Forgive me, I am new to Evernote and have the basic plan.  I'm trying to merge notes on my desktop (Mac).  All the tutorials and support documents online say that merging notes is easy - just press "command + Click" on the notes you want to merge - then click "merge" from the menu that appears.    Except I am not getting this.  I've tried in Chrome and Firefox, the command + click feature doesn't produce the merge menu described in the tutorials.  Any idea where I am going wrong?

Hi, and welcome to the forums. The problem arises from using Evernote through a Web browser; the note merge feature is not available in the browser version. If you go to evernote.com, there should be a link (you may have to scroll to the bottom of the page) to download the desktop app for Mac, in which you can do the Cmd+Click select and merge job.

.. and as Dave Said, use the app from the EN Website, NOT the one from the Mac App Store.

it is the same App, but from the Mac App Store it will run in a Sandbox, which causes a lot of trouble.

Problem solved.

This worked perfectly! Thanks so much for the tip about the website version rather than the app store version too.
