How to join a project's files and see it all together
Open the project in Projects and click Join and see it all together. Say whether the same people speak in every file and click Join. The finished files become one transcript, in the project's order, with the chapters, emotions and hooks of each one. Nothing is transcribed again and no hours are used.
Before you start
The project needs at least 2 finished files. See how to create a project and move files into it in the article about projects.
