Merge two persistent files?

Hi! I moved a project into a new project folder and updated my game on Steam, resulting in my users' lost of persistent "read text" from the old version (they cannot skip read text anymore, but all other persistent variables are saved fine).
A friend on Discord told me that to retrieve the read texts, I must copy over the old persistent file from both the games/save folder and %APPDATA%.
I am a bit confused on how I would do that, because they have the same file name and copying it over will only replace the file... Documentation on merging persistent data doesn't specify this part, can someone guide me on this? Very much appreciated!!

You can try putting one in %APPDATA%, and one in game/saves, and Ren'Py should merge them.

I'll try that! You're the best ;)
