Simple Empower question

[NYYFan]

So I should probably know this since I've been working with Empower for years now, but Can you add samples to an already finished sample set? Say I have a sample set of a bunch of standards, and over time I want to just re-open that sample set, and add a few more to run and track. For some reason, when I go to "Run sample set" on an already finished sample set, it doesn't do anything. In Atlas for instance, I can open up a workbook (sample set) from a year ago and add samples on it and run it if I want to.

Thanks!

saving your sample set as "ss method template" would be the best for such case.
Then you can choose "create a new SS based on existing template" which will create the old layout but fully editable before you start again.

If you didn't save your sample set as "method template" you could choose "New\re-inject a prevoius run sample set".
But (in my case) the sample set rows will be locked (red) and you won't be able to edit it, unless you select "unlock locked sample rows" from the menu.
Unfortunately this is not always working for me, but then I just select all rows, choose "copy", open a new, empty sample set and "paste" the copied data.

So if I do that I can add new samples to the existing run and then run that correct? it's fine that I can't edit anything that has been run already, I just want to add samples, run those, and have that saved on the original sample set. Also, where do I find this New/Re-inect command?

oh, sorry, no I think this is not possible.
It will create a new sample set (at least a new SS id, name could be the same).

The command should be somewhere in the menu "new SS". maybe it's within a window that will show up, afterwards

With Empower 3, you can run additional samples in a new SSM, then look at results from the old one & the new one, create a virtual SSM and process it (so I hear).
