+<p>
+       You can add as many sample library locations as you like and easily
+       switch between them. To do that:
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+       <li>
+               In the <dfn>Clips</dfn> tab of the sidebar, click the top drop-down list and choose <kbd class="menu">Edit</kbd>.
+
+               <figure class="right">
+                 <img src="/images/clips-locations-in-the-dropdown-list.png" alt="Clips' locations in the              drop-down list">
+                 <figcaption>
+                   Clips' locations in the drop-down list
+                 </figcaption>
+               </figure>
+       </li>
+       <li>
+               In the newly opened dialog called <dfn>Edit Sample Library Path</dfn> click <kbd class="button">Add</kbd> and locate the folder that contains samples. If there are subfolders, choose the parent folder that contains them all.
+       </li>
+       <li>
+               Repeat for all other sample libraries.
+       </li>
+       <li>
+               Click <kbd class="button">OK</kbd> to apply changes.
+       </li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+       Alternatively, you can drop a folder from a file manager into the list
+       of clips in the Clips browser. This will add a new clip library location
+       stored across sessions.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+       Now when you click the drop-down list at the top of <dfn>Clips</dfn>, you will see all the paths you added.
+</p>
+
+<figure class="right">
+  <img src="/images/clips-locations-in-the-dropdown-list.png" alt="Clips' locations in the drop-down list">
+  <figcaption>
+    Clips' locations in the drop-down list
+  </figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+
+<p>
+       Should you need to delete any path you previously added, open the <dfn>Edit Sample Library Path</dfn> dialog again, select the path and click <kbd class="button">Delete</kbd>.
