From the Search Map view
- Expand the tree to the element level.
- Right click the name of the element to add. The shortcut menu opens.

From the Element view
- Right click the name of the element to add.

Click Add to Project
Note: To select multiple elements, use Ctrl-click or Shift-click.
The following text is displayed in the progress bar. The element is retrieved from the Endevor project location:
Retrieving element <Element name>
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:
The available options depend on the setting "Add Local Element to Endevor after Retrieve" under Preferences.
- Set to Always
- Indicates that a local element is added to Endevor
- Set to Never
- Process ends with no further action
- Set to Prompt
- You are prompted if you want to add the local element to Endevor
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.
