Help needed in editing Stamps file

I once knew how to do this. I have a file (migrated somehow over from another machine a while ago) that contains my editing stamps. I'd like to add a new stamp to this but can't figure out how.

I believe they are stored in a file in my Application Support directory (I can see the file). I tried adding a new page and adding the symbol to that page, then reimporting it to Stamps under the old name, but that doesn't work.

I seem to recall having to add pages with symbols one by one.

Any tips appreciated.

Yes, that's exactly what you should do... Select the new image you want to add to this collection, and in the next window select the collection's name, to add the new stamp to the end of it.

You must do it via the Stamp tool itself. Click it and then select Custom Stamps - Create New Stamp. Select the stamp's layout and category and then you'll be able to edit it directly from the stamps PDF file.

Thanks, but I am not sure how this would work.

I have a stamp "collection" that contains 14 images running down vertically; to use them I just click and drag into a PDF.

I'd like to add more stamps to this series.

If I do what you suggest I get this dialogue window:

Not what I want, I think. If I navigate to the file with the 14 images that doesn't add the 15th (or even do anything at all, so far as I can see). But maybe I am misunderstanding.
