contents We investigate the boundary reduction of 3D Einstein gravity and JT gravity into their respective edge mode theories - namely, the Liouville and Alekseev-Shatashvili, and Schwarzian models. By examining the roles of boundary conditions, canonical transformations, and differing formulations - metric versus Chern-Simons - we clarify how physical degrees of freedom become localized at the boundary and resolve several long-standing ambiguities in the reduction procedure.
