  1. Open the shape picker by clicking a shape in the visualization properties panel or the legend.
  2. Click and select Find collections in the library.
    A search is performed in the library to show all available shape collections that you can add to the shape picker (type:shapes).
  3. Locate the shape collection you want to add and click .
  4. Select Open.
    The shape collection is added to the shape picker. A library icon next to the collection name indicates that this collection is saved in the library.
    Tip: You can pin shape collections from the library to the shape picker to keep for future analyses. An administrator can pin shape collections to the shape picker using a preference setting. See Pinning shape collections to the shape picker for more information about pinning.
