JWL Merge for Windows 11
=======================

Combines the notes, highlights, bookmarks and tags from your JW Library
backups (Windows PC, iPad, iPhone, Mac) into one backup.
Works offline. Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded.

1. SET UP (one time)
   - Right-click "JWL Merge for Windows.zip" > Extract All > Extract.
   - Move "JWL Merge.html" somewhere handy, e.g. Documents.
   - Optional: right-click it > Show more options > Send to >
     Desktop (create shortcut).

2. MAKE A BACKUP ON EACH DEVICE
   - In JW Library: Settings > Backup and Restore > Create a backup.
   - Get the iPad/iPhone backups onto the PC (OneDrive, iCloud for
     Windows, email, or a USB drive).

3. MERGE
   - Double-click "JWL Merge.html". It opens in Edge (or your browser).
   - Click "Tap to choose backups" and pick one backup from each device
     (hold Ctrl to select several).
   - Click "Merge backups".
   - Click "Save merged backup". It saves "Merged [date].jwlibrary"
     to your Downloads folder.

4. RESTORE ON EVERY DEVICE
   - In JW Library: Settings > Backup and Restore > Restore a backup,
     and choose the merged file.

TIPS
   - Keep your original backups until you've checked your notes.
   - Same note edited on two devices: the newest edit is kept.
   - If Edge asks what to do with the download, choose Keep / Save.

JWL Merge is an independent tool, not made by or connected with the
publishers of JW Library.
