> #### How to add an element to a library

> Creating an element in a library uses the same wizards and dialogs as creating an element in a report design. After you add an element to a library, you make changes to it in the same way as you do in a report design.

> 1 | Open or create a library.

> 2 | In Data Explorer, create any required data sources and data sets.

> 3 | To add a style, in the Outline view, expand the Themes node. Right-click a theme, then choose New Style.

> 4 | To add a theme, in Outline, right-click the Themes node, and choose New Theme.

> 5 | To add a report item, drag an item from the palette to Report Items in Outline. The new item appears both in Report Items and in the layout editor.
