Adding a county to an existing shapefile

[JenRamos]

Very basic question as it's been years since I used ArcView. 

I need to add a county to an existing shapefile.  What is the easiest way to do so?

[IanMurray]

Use the Append Tool if you want to add it to the existing shapefile

If you want to make a new shapefile from the two, use the Merge Tool.

Is the county in a shapefile? If the files are in the same format, you could use Append, or copy/paste.

[TimWitt]

You can start an editing session and then add it through that.

If you have a different shapefile that has the county you want to add already, you can use the append or merge tool.

I hope this helps!
