| | 11 | **Step 1 - Select the "cut-nodes"**: |
| | 12 | * Enable mode, you will need to select (**at least**) two points for every area; but not [#Usagewithways on ways] - there no requirement in minimal node count for ways that are not areas; |
| | 13 | * Use left mouse click to select point (icon: standard icon add node will appear); use left mouse click to deselect a point (icon with cross will indicate selected point); |
| | 14 | * After all 2+ points selected, you can pick one of 2+ ''parts'' as ''source geometry'' to move. Hover a mouse over one ''part'' and cursor will be changed to (cursor: move with 4 arrows); |
| | 15 | **Step 2 - Drag the source contour**: |
| | 16 | * After you started to drag ''source geometry'', you have options in target geometry. Your ''source geometry'' will change it's shape to a ''target geometry'' shape after mouse hover and ''shortcut icon'' will be displayed; |
| | 17 | **Step 3 - make adjustments and continue editing as usual**: |
| | 18 | * Contours will be merged. But if a ''source geometry'' had only one segment left, it will be completely collapsed; |
| | 19 | * You can repeat steps 2-3 as many times as you want until tool will disabled or there nothing left to merge |
