      • Use the Choose from search results drop-down list to select a query field to search for specific studies, and then enter a term to search for in that query field.
    2. Click the Select button if you choose to add studies from an existing collection, or click the Search button if you choose to add studies from the results of a query.
      A list of available studies is displayed in the Studies to Choose from box.
    3. In the Studies to Choose from box, select a study to assign to your collection, and then click the Add button. Or, hold the Ctrl button down and select more than one study before you click Add.
      You can click the Add All button to assign all studies in the box to your collection. You also can double-click a study to add it to the Studies Selected box.
    4. If you choose to remove studies from the list of Studies Selected, click the study and then click the Remove or Remove All button to move that study back to the Studies to Choose from box.
      You can hold the Ctrl button down and select more than one study to remove, or you can double-click a study to move it to the Studies to Choose from box.
    5. If needed, repeat the addition of studies to the Studies to Choose from box, and add new studies to the Selected Studies list.
