Repertory Additions (Adding Your Own Rubrics and Remedies)

Repertory additions let you add your own content to the repertories you have access to: add a remedy to an existing rubric, create a rubric or sub-rubric, or add a cross-reference. Your additions appear alongside the original repertory content and are marked so you always know what is yours.

With Pro, you can make additions in every repertory you have access to except the two official-only repertories: the Filip Degroote Dreams Repertory ("Dreams" in the Sources panel) and the New World Veterinary Repertory ("Vet"). You can still search those two and add their rubrics to a case as usual. You just cannot add your own content to them.

If your access to the Complete Repertory, Murphy MetaRepertory, Saine Repertory or Suggesta 2.1 comes from a Lifetime Pro add-on, you cannot make additions in that repertory, and your own additions there are not shown. The add actions still appear in the ⋮ Actions menu, but the addition cannot be saved.

How do I turn it on?

Repertory additions are off until you enable them. Go to Settings → My repertory additions. Under Enable repertory additions, turn on the switch. The card then reads "Addition tools are enabled". Until you do, the actions for creating additions do not appear. If you turn the setting off later, your existing additions are kept.

Repertory additions are a Pro feature.

Choosing private or shared

The first time you create an addition, Similia asks you to choose. One choice covers all repertories:

• Keep them private: your additions are visible only to you.
• Share with repertory authors: repertory authors can use your additions when they update their repertories, and they credit the public name you choose.

If you choose to share, you enter a public contributor name or pseudonym (2 to 100 characters). This is the only identity shared with repertory authors or shown publicly. Your email address is never exposed.

You can change this choice later in Settings → My repertory additions. Switching to shared, or changing your public contributor name, needs Pro. Switching to shared shares all your existing additions with repertory authors, not just new ones. Switching to private stops sharing any additions that have not become official.

How do I add something?

Open the ⋮ Actions menu on a rubric and choose the action you need:

• Add remedy…: add an existing remedy to that rubric, with a grade from 1 to 4. You cannot add a remedy that is already in the official rubric.
• Add sub-rubric…: create a new rubric under that rubric.
• Add cross-reference…: link that rubric to another rubric in the same repertory.

To create a new top-level rubric, browse the repertory by chapter and, while the chapter list (headed Browse by chapter) is showing, choose Create rubric at the top before you open a chapter. Inside an open chapter, Create rubric adds the new rubric directly under that chapter. When the panel is narrow, the button shows only a + icon.

Each form also has optional Reason, Supporting evidence and Links (up to 5) fields, where you can record why the addition belongs there.

To change or remove an addition, open the ⋮ Actions menu on its rubric. Each of your additions on that rubric has its own pair of items. To change it, choose Edit addition… (for a rubric you created), Edit addition: followed by the remedy, or Edit cross-reference: followed by the target rubric. To remove it, choose the matching Delete addition: item.

Rubrics you created carry a "Your addition" badge. Remedies and cross-references you added are marked with a small person-with-pen icon instead. When you create a rubric, you also choose its Input language. In the Complete Repertory, rubrics you created are also marked "Entered in" followed by the two-letter code of that language, for example FR for French.

Managing your additions

Go to Settings → My repertory additions to:

• switch the addition tools on or off
• change your sharing preference
• review your additions, grouped by repertory with the current revision of each, and edit or delete them
• download them with Export my additions

Why don't I see the addition actions?

• Check that your account has Pro (Lifetime Pro counts). Without Pro, no addition actions appear in the ⋮ Actions menu, and the switch in Settings → My repertory additions is greyed out.
• Check that the switch under Enable repertory additions in Settings → My repertory additions is on. When it is, the card reads "Addition tools are enabled".
• Check whether Dreams or Vet is selected. While either one is selected, additions are switched off for the whole search, including a search across several repertories. The addition actions are hidden, and your existing additions are not shown, even on Kent or Complete rubrics. To see and edit your additions again, untick Dreams and Vet in the Sources panel, or in the repertory selector on smaller screens. If you search one repertory at a time and Dreams or Vet is the selected repertory, select a different repertory.
• If your account gains a repertory, for example after you buy Dreams or Vet, and your repertory search is set to several repertories, Similia ticks the new repertory once in that browser's saved selection. This happens the next time repertory search loads. If the new repertory is Dreams or Vet, untick it as described above. Once you untick it, it stays unticked.

If your Pro plan ends

Your additions are kept. In Settings → My repertory additions you can still view, export and delete them and switch them to private. You cannot create or edit additions, and your additions are not shown in the repertory until you have Pro again.

Additions inside a case

A case keeps the exact revision of an addition that it used, so an old analysis does not change under you. If you later edit that addition, the analysis shows "A newer revision of this addition is available." To bring the case up to date, choose Update this case, or the Refresh revision button on an affected rubric (on smaller screens it shows only a refresh icon). Either one updates every addition in the case. You decide when to do this.

Deleting additions

Deleting an addition removes your personal addition and any of your other additions that depend on it. The official repertory itself is never affected.

If you shared an addition and it later becomes part of the official repertory, the public contributor name and a snapshot of the source may remain with the repertory even after an account is deleted. Your account ID and email are not kept.
