150To add a plug-in, use the "Select plug-in to add" pull-down list near the bottom and then click "Add Specified Plug-in". A window appears entitled "Configuring Arguments"; it is described later. Once you have configured the new plug-in, it is added to the end of the "Currently Assigned Plug-Ins" list. Note that a plug-in may only occur once in the list.
151</p>
152<p style="text-align:justify">
153To remove a plug-in, select it in the list and click "Remove Selected Plug-in".
154</p>
155<p style="text-align:justify">
156Plug-Ins are configured by providing arguments. To alter them, select the plug-in from the list and click "Configure Selected Plug-in" (or double-click the plug-in). A "Configuring Arguments" dialog appears with three parts: a text field for entering custom arguments, an area containing controls for specifying arguments, and two buttons at the bottom.
157</p>
158<p style="text-align:justify">
159There are different kinds of controls. Some are checkboxes, and clicking one adds the appropriate option to the plug-in. Others are text strings, with a checkbox and a text field. Click the box to enable the argument, then type appropriate text (regular expression, file path etc) in the box. Others are pull-down menus from which you can select from a given set of values. Still others allow multiple selections from a list. To add a value, select it and click "Add"; to remove it, select it and click "Remove". To learn what an argument does, let the mouse hover over its name for a moment and a description will appear.
160</p>
161<p style="text-align:justify">
162When you have changed the configuration, click "OK" to commit the changes and close the dialog, or "Cancel" to close the dialog without changing any plug-in arguments.
163</p>
164<p style="text-align:justify">
165The plug-ins in the list are executed in order, and the ordering is sometimes important. Two plug-ins, ArcPlug and RecPlug, are vital to the collection building process, and are fixed in place at the end of the list (with a separator line). To change the ordering, select the plug-in you want to move and click "Move To Top", "Move Up", "Move Down", or "Move To Bottom".
