The Edit submenu on the main
menu provides options needed to add new elements, enrich them with
components such as sounds or pictures, delete elements and edit elements. The Edit
submenu is available only after you enter middle or professional levels (File
: Level)
Here
are the options of the Edit submenu:
- Add a new item - add a new item to the current collection (Ctrl+A).
An items is an element that takes part in repetitions and
often has the question-answer form (see also: Topics vs. items).
The items is added to the current category as selected in the category combo-box on the Tools
toolbar
