How would I transfer the original bits apart from an edit and copying

I'll try to generate diffs in the future but I didn't know it existed.
Thanks for the info.
Yeah, there really isn't a process that we've written down, just an idea

Only the first section since doing it in sections is easier than

knowledge.
This is also where a personal namespace draft can help. You can work it
up entirely how you'd like it to appear.
