-The merge command searches passed directories for the event files.
+The merge command searches the current directory recursively for event files.
+You can also pass individual directories to be searched, or individual event files to use.
 You can also pass individual files if you are not interested in all ranks.
+To tell the merge to search only folders A and B run:
+
+```console

+Found 1 files in A
+Found 1 files in B

 The merge command is written in pure Python, without external dependencies, to make it easy to use on clusters.
 After you run `precice-cli profiling merge`, you end up with a single file, which can be additionally compressed and transferred to another machine.
