Once you done the above, the main window changes, being split to two parts. This layout can be either vertical or horizontal to fit your preference. You can find this option from the menu View → Tile. Use the “Exlporer Window”, top or left according to the layout you have chosen, to navigate and locate the folder containing the data you wish to copy.

To add files or folders to the compilation select the source folder in the folder view (left) or open a folder in the file and folder list using a double click. Then you can select the files you want to copy by highlighting them (press the control key for multiple selection). Press the Add button , or drag and drop the selection to the Compilation Window.

If you have accidentally added something you don't want, select it in the Compilation Window and click the Remove button or press “Delete” on your keyboard.
