Has something changed in merging? unmerging?

I just mistakenly merged two identities. I can't figure out how one does an "unmerge".

Hence ...
It is very hard, when one is working (ie. responding in) a 'Post'; and, the post 'literally' either,
(1) CLOSES down, when one is in 'Mid' process; and/or,
(2) Has been CLOSED down; and, one ONLY finds out, when one goes to "Post Comment"
eg.
Very disconcerting ...
Just my thoughts.

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
Just in passing ...
Here are some "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch':
How do I undo a merge in Family Tree?
https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-undo-a-merge-in-family-tree
How do I restore a deleted record for a person in Family Tree?
And ...
An Article from the 'FamilySearch' "Blog":
Incorrect Merges on FamilySearch Family Tree
https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/fix-incorrect-merges-on-familysearch
Good Luck.
I hope, that these may help/assist, somewhat.

Do not feel bad; as, such, is Not unusual ...
The "Help Centre", in 'FamilySearch', is NOT always easy, to negotiate; nor, forthcoming ...
And, I have been using such, for many Years ...
I STILL have trouble locating "Articles", that I know are there; as, I accessed, that Day or the previous Day ...
[ So, it is not as if, they have been 'Taken Down' ... I eventually find them ... but, such a waste of time ... ]
I have many "Articles" in a "Doc" File, just so, that I can access them quickly, instead of try to literally 'fight' with the "Help Centre".

Good idea! Sometimes I think on any data search, one just needs to know or happen upon the "magic" word to include in the search. With your help, I was successful in undoing the merge!

I am just glad, that I was able to provide you, with some help/assistance.
That, is what this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, was originally established for, a number of Years ago.
Users/Patrons, HELPING / ASSISTING, Users/Patrons ...
And, has been quite successfully operating, as such, for all those many Years.
I am so glad, that you were able to "Unmerge"/"Restore".
[ Such a very necessary skill ... ]
Good Luck.
In your future, work; and, endeavours, in Genealogy / Family History.
