Merge Swatches?

What does “merge swatches” actually mean? It doesn’t mean you get a bunch of swatches and merge them all into one big ugly color. Rather, when you merge swatches, you remove a group of swatches (maybe duplicates or swatches that are similar) and replace them with a single color swatch. Here’s how it works: Select the swatch you want to keep, and then Shift-click or Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) on the swatches you want to merge. Now when you Right-click and choose Merge Swatches, you will keep the first swatch you selected and remove all the others. The first swatch will replace the others wherever they were used in your document.
