How to Expand Existing Specialization Area

[gw1500se]

I created a forestry specialization zone near the edge of my square since the resource extended into a square I did not purchase. I was later able to purchase the adjacent square which extended the forest resource. Now I want to expand the existing zone into the new square but I cannot find how to do that. Everything I try creates a new zone rather than reshaping/expanding the existing zone. Can someone tell me what I am missing? TIA.

you have to place the brush entirely within the existing zone and use it to push the edges outwards

Admittedly I had confusion over this at first too. Remember now there are 2 types of district zones. The original kind and now the industrial kind. Make sure you use the industrial 'paint-brush' for districts and 'paint' from inside the existing one outwards.

With the district brush start inside the existing district. You will see it becomes highlighted. Then click while it's highlighted and paint towards the edges to expand it.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. That sure is not obvious from the documentation.

No it's not clear! I had the same issue! Seems simple, but I actually had to do searches and watch some people's videos to figure it out again.

For what it is worth, it is on the CS wiki.
