  2. Right click the name of the element to add.
    The shortcut menu opens.

The local instance of the element is displayed in the Project View under Selected Project.

After the element is retrieved, there are three following options that are available if the Add will be performed:

Note: The available options depend on the setting "Add Local Element to Endevor after Retrieve" under Preferences.

Note: If the element is added to Endevor, an Add dialog appears (dependent upon the settings in Preferences). You can prevent this dialog from opening and proceed with default values. For more information about default values and preference settings, see Preferences.
