In the Combine CLFs dialog box identify one or more files; click Add from folder or Add Files and make a selection.

Note:
Enter a valid shared network path (UNC) to the folder/file or the folder/file will not be found.

The selected files are listed in the dialog box and can be deselected using the associated check box. Selections may also be deleted.
