Not seeing "merge/split" segments options in Studio 2017 (working on alignment)

Hi, I'm not seeing any merge/split options when right-clicking in Studio 2017 (professional subscription) while working in alignment mode. Am I missing something? Thank you for the feedback.

  • These features were not available in the alignment module for 2017.  You only had these options:

    In later versions, 2021 preferably, you have these:

    Merging isn't an option because this achieved by simply joining more than segment together.  In 2017 you could "merge" up to three segments together this way:

    In 2021 you can "merge" up to five segments:

    The alignment module has been considerably enhanced since 2017 and there are more useful options than just this.
