Sure, everything you need is on the Item menu. But I always use keystroke commands - Ctrl+Shift+S to split, Ctrl+S-J to join, alt-arrow keys to move items. Items don’t have titles in Ecco, but of course you could use as an outline item as a title. The reason I recommend Ecco for moving text around is its very quick - I’m sure Brainstorm is too.

When you’re read to export back to another program, you can use File / Database / Export / Outline Only (tab indented).
