====== Vectors List ======
The Vectors list is part of the [[ui:Library Explorer]], where vectors can be stored.

==== Organization ====
{{:ui:screenshot_e.jpg}}
  * Vectors are organized within folders.
    * The list is pre-loaded with a set of vectors.
  * New folders can be created by selecting "add new folder / group" from the "Add" button at the bottom of the Library Explorer.
    * If another folder is selected, the new folder will be added within it.
  * A folder may be moved within the list by selecting the icon and dragging it to a new position.

==== Adding, removing and editing vectors ====
    * A vector may be added to the Vectors list by 
      * dragging the icon of an existing vector from the [[ui:workspace_pane | Workspace Pane]] or the [[ui:navigation_pane | Navigation Pane]].  
      * dragging a fasta file for a vector from elsewhere on your computer.
      * dragging a genbank file for a vector from elsewhere on your computer.
    * A vector may be deleted from the list by selecting it and clicking on the "delete" button at the bottom of the Library Explorer.
    * A vector name and notes may be edited by 
      * selecting it and clicking on the "edit" button at the bottom of the [[ui:Library Explorer]].
      * double clicking on it.
    * A vector sequence can only be edited by dragging it into the [[ui:Construct Editor]], and editing in that window.

==== Preloaded vectors are different ====
  * Preloaded vectors  may be updated from time to time with new versions of GeneDesigner.  They therefore differ from user-added vectors in the following ways:
== Moving pre-loaded vectors ==
  * Moving a pre-loaded vector or folder of vectors will automatically create a copy of the vector / folder.
    * When sequences are updated, only the vectors / folders in their original locations will be updated.

== Editing pre-loaded vectors ==
  * Pre-loaded vectors or folders of elements must be copied before editing.

== Deleting pre-loaded vectors ==
  * Pre-loaded vectors or folders of elements cannot be deleted.
