How do you create and delete the subseries addition listed under Related Series?

You create a series like normal, then create a relationship to the main series.
You remove series from the suggested overlap by removing books that don't belong to your and the other series. Also by not including any anthologies.

There is an option in the relationship area for "Dismiss and remove relationship" but I never use it.

Sorry I'm not understanding or finding any of this.

"You create a series like normal, then create a relationship to the main series." - how do you do that?

"There is an option in the relationship area for "Dismiss and remove relationship" but I never use it." - where is that?

>3 LamontCranston: So you don't know how to use any of the new series systems?
Okay, first step, find the Series and Relationship box on the Book Page. Usually it is located above the Common Knowledge box.
Next Click the Add/Edit link to open the light window for creating series.
Enter the Series name in the search box. Search for the Series FIRST before creating new.
If the series comes up, verify that it is the series you want to add a book to, then tell it where the book falls in the proper order. Click save

If no series comes up with the name you searched, you click on create new series. Follow the prompts on the screen.

Once the series is created, there is a button on the right hand side that says Edit Series with an arrow. Clicking on this box will open a menu with an option Relationship/Combine.
Clicking on this link will open a new page that allows you to edit the relationship status or merge the series into another. The Dismiss and Remove relationship button is on this page.

There appears to be a bug related to all the relationship creation problems.

>5 gilroy: I see some updates to that thread that suggest that the bug has been fixed. I hope that is so.
