On each side of new receptacle there is a tab between the screws that hold the wires. This tab is bent back and forth until it breaks off. (Usually on the Brass or hot side.) The receptacle is now split and can now be wired for two separate circuits or one outlet switched and the other not. Easy way is to strip the wire under 1 screw back till it will go under the other screw on the same side and tighten.

To change a split outlet back to a standard outlet, you need to remove the tab that separates the two outlets on the hot side of the receptacle. This requires turning off the power to the outlet, removing the outlet from the wall, identifying the tab to be removed, and breaking it off using wire cutters or pliers. Once the tab is removed, reattach the outlet to the wall and restore power to test the standard outlet functionality. It's important to follow safety precautions and consult an electrician if unsure.

Do you wire a gfci outlet differently?
No, except that you insert the wires into the holes on the back of the outlet. The power in connects to the LINE side of the outlet and power out connects to the LOAD side of the outlet. This is clearly marked on the back of the outlet. This will not only protect the outlet with the GFCI installed but all outlets receiving their power from that GFCI. If you do not want to protect the outlets receiving power from the outlet then connect that outgoing wire to the LINE side also. But know that only the outlet with the GFCI will be protected and all other outlets will not be GFCI protected.
