Combining CTEs - Unino two CTEs and join with 3rd CTE - sql-server

Question

I am looking to combine multiple CTEs to get a result
Here is my first CTE
with CTE_EditLibrary
as
(
select A.[EditLibraryId] as 'Library'
,B.[EditLibraryId] as 'SubLibraryId'
,B.[EditId]
from [EnumEditLibraries] as A
full join [EnumEditLibraries] as B
on A.editid = B.editid
where A.EditLibraryId in (select editlibraryid from [EditLibraries] where level = 1)
and B.EditLibraryId in (select editlibraryid from [EditLibraries] where level = 2)
order by A.editid
)
select * from CTE_EditLibrary
I want to join it to the result of these two CTEs
with Cte_origins
as
(
SELECT A.editid, A.EditOriginId as 'Origins', B.DisplayName as 'Origin Name', Null as 'SubOrigins', null as 'SubOrigin Name'
FROM [EnumEditOrigins] A
inner join [EditOrigins] B
on A.EditOriginId = B.EditOriginId
where A.EditOriginId in (select EditOriginId from [EditOrigins] where level = 1)
and editid not in (some values)
--order by EditId--460, 446
)
, Cte_suborigins
as
(
SELECT A.editid, B.ParentEditOriginId as 'Origins', Src.DisplayName as 'Origin Name', A.EditOriginId as 'SubOrigins', B.DisplayName as 'SubOrigin Name'
FROM [EnumEditOrigins] A
inner join [EditOrigins] B
on A.EditOriginId = B.EditOriginId
inner join (select EditOriginId, DisplayName from [EditOrigins] where level = 1) as Src
on B.ParentEditOriginId = Src.EditOriginId
where A.EditOriginId in (select EditOriginId from [EditOrigins] where level = 2)
and editid not in (some values)--2562, 2542
--order by editid
)
select * from Cte_suborigins A
union all
select * from Cte_origins B
I am looking at a full join to get editid, origins, suborigins, library and sublibrary for all edit ids.
I can put the CTEs into #temptables or views and then join however I want to know if this can be done within CTEs without creating and dropping temp tables and views.
If I union 2 ctes and join with 3rd like this, it will throw must have an equal number of expressions
With Cte_......

select * from Cte_suborigins A
union all
select * from Cte_origins B
full join CTE_EditLibrary C
on A.EditId = B.EditId

The error occurs because your unioned selects doesn't have the same amount of columns.
If you join two tables, you get both tables' columns. If you would've replace the * with the specific columns, you'd have noticed that the first select in the union cannot access Library or SubLibraryId, and that's because the join is only between Cte_origins and CTE_EditLibrary. Cte_suborigins gets left behind and has fewer columns than the latter.
Either do the join after you've done the union, or join both with both CTEs
with CTE_EditLibrary as
(
select
A.[EditLibraryId] as 'Library'
, B.[EditLibraryId] as 'SubLibraryId'
, B.[EditId]
from [EnumEditLibraries] as A
full join [EnumEditLibraries] as B
on A.editid = B.editid
where A.EditLibraryId in (select editlibraryid from [EditLibraries] where level = 1)
and B.EditLibraryId in (select editlibraryid from [EditLibraries] where level = 2)
order by A.editid
)
, Cte_origins as(
SELECT
A.editid
, A.EditOriginId as 'Origins'
, B.DisplayName as 'Origin Name'
, Null as 'SubOrigins'
, null as 'SubOrigin Name'
FROM [EnumEditOrigins] A
inner join [EditOrigins] B
on A.EditOriginId = B.EditOriginId
where A.EditOriginId in (select EditOriginId from [EditOrigins] where level = 1)
and editid not in (some values)
--order by EditId--460, 446
)
, Cte_suborigins as(
SELECT
A.editid
, B.ParentEditOriginId as 'Origins'
, Src.DisplayName as 'Origin Name'
, A.EditOriginId as 'SubOrigins'
, B.DisplayName as 'SubOrigin Name'
FROM [EnumEditOrigins] A
inner join [EditOrigins] B
on A.EditOriginId = B.EditOriginId
inner join (select EditOriginId, DisplayName from [EditOrigins] where level = 1) as Src
on B.ParentEditOriginId = Src.EditOriginId
where A.EditOriginId in (select EditOriginId from [EditOrigins] where level = 2)
and editid not in (some values)--2562, 2542
--order by editid
)
SELECT *
FROM (
select * from Cte_suborigins A
union all
select * from Cte_origins B
) d
full join CTE_EditLibrary C
on d.EditId = c.EditId
