Updating and adding new items to a exsisting product?

How would you go about adding a preset material to an exsisting product, that had no preset materials in the product to begin with. Seems like it should be easy to do, but I can't figure it out. If I can't get tehm in there I will probablly forget about the materials and end up never using them.

If you right-click on the materials folder and select Create product, then give it the name of the existing product, I think that should work. You can then, if desired, right-click on the product folder and select Edit Metadata and use the first tab to add the non-user facing files (textures) by right-click in the central panel.

Thank you that worked, its just not intuitive. One thinks to themself that would overwrite the original product, but you get a pop-up window asking if you want to add them to the exisiting product.

I'm so glad i asked as this was really starting to fustrate me.
