 ===Dependencies===
 Historical unit libraries have TroopType libraries as dependencies. Officer libraries can have officer card libraries as dependencies. If you are attempting to load a library whose dependency is not present you will be warned of this and the loading will be blocked. If this happens cancel the operation and load the dependency first before resuming.
+===Example: I changed somebody else's library a little bit===
+For example Elmo had created the basics for a scenario on Smolensk. He was re-using the libraries from the Volkov scenario. Then when having placed all units he realised there were no models for OKH for example. So he modified the VolkovGermanModels library by adding models for OKH and PG. He named this library SmolenskModels. To load the SmolenskModels correctly he has to the following:
+{{:dcx:example1.jpg|}}
+* Make sure you substitute the correct library
+* Make also sure you subtitute the correct peoples ( you do not want to have doubles )
+**In this example why would I not just have the SmolenskModels and VolkovModels libraries loaded?**
+In general its not a good idea to have multiple libraries with identical models hanging around since it would clutter for example your lists of TOEs available with redundant copies. Or in other words in several places like OOB and NEW UNIT ORDER it would look ugly and unpolished to the player.
