Hi, I accidentally saved a file that I had overwritten its original segment. I have the original file and the file in which I made my segment. Is it possible to merge the two by importing the segmentation from the original file to my file? if it’s possible how should I do it?

You can copy/move segments in Segmentations module, or you can drag-and-drop segments in Data module (in the Subject hierarchy tree).
