Merging two Modules Together

So I am a new DM running the Lost Mines of Phandelver module with a group of friends who are mostly new players. I also bought the Essentials Pack so they can continue their adventure. Going through the base module of the Essentials Kit I noticed it is for the same player levels as Phandelver. I know I can add the Essentials Adventures to the current module I am running but not the starting module itself. Is there any way to combine modules or at least pull out the assets of one and put them into the other?  Or perhaps another solution I havent considered?

To move contents from one module to another module (game to game) usually requires the transmogrifier and it would be piece by piece. Usually it is not recommended to combine modules due to it causing lag and other issues. If you are looking at moving over to another module (game), you can just character vault the PCs into the new module (game). This will keep the lag to a minimum and allow you to keep all the information separate if needed for some reason.

What I think I am going to do is open a new game with the Essentials Module and then vault all the PCs and NPCs needed for Lost Mine of Phandelver. Then build all the encounter maps from LMoP and copy paste all the handouts. It would require my Players to join the new game but thats not an issue. I would do it the other way around but there are only 6 actual encounter maps from LMoP and the Essentials module has far more and are far better in the way they were implemented into roll20. Was kinda just hoping there was an easier way to do it to save time.

If you could spare 10 or 5 extra since you are a plus subscription, you could go up a tier and use the transmogrifier then drop back down to the plus. That might be the easiest way to do what you want. Just food for thought.

Well now I know.
