Hi combiners,
I separated split the author Cheryl Klein to assign books to the appropriate authors. Those appropriate authors have separate author listing already: Cheryl B. Klein and Cheryl E. Klein. How would I appropriately combine the separate author listings? I could easily combine them under Cheryl Klein, but then lose the individual author listings. Is that the correct course of action?

Nope.
Look at the screen where you assign books to the split. There is another tab there called “Alias Divisions”. That’s where you connect part of an author to another author page.

Do not combine Cheryl B. and Cheryl E. with Cheryl. Instead, the splits should be aliased to those author pages.
I've done that now.
For future reference this feature can be found on an author's split author page by clicking on "edit the division" in the right hand column, and choosing "Alias divisions to other authors" instead of the default "Assign works to authors".
You will see a field for each identified author: "Joe Bloggs (1)", "Joe Bloggs (2)" etc. For convenience the top work for each of those authors is also stated. Fill in the field with the author name-string - excluding any division identifier, so smithjohn not smithjohn-1 - found in the address of the aliased-to page.
