Can I erase a line in an analysis? Can I make a minor variation into a main line?

When building an analysis of a position, I like to keep it reasonably clean, so that I and others can refer back to it and see the relevant points. However, I often click on a move by mistake, leading to a line that is not critical, relevant, or instructive. And sometimes I change my mind and want to switch a minor variation into being the major line, and vice-versa. The only way I know how do this is to start the entire analysis again from scratch. Is there an easier way?

Thanks

Yes, you just need to right-click on the start of the line and choose 'delete from here'.

Oh really? Thanks, DelightfulHam! That will be soooo helpful if it works! I'm going to try that!

Cheers, and enjoy your chess!
