# Modifying a Corpus You can modify a corpus by clicking on the _Modify_ button of the [Documents Tool](#!/guide/documents).

Documents with the Works of Jane Austen.

Note that any modifications actually create a new corpus (so the URL will change). The following modifications are available: - *Add* more documents by clicking the _Add_ button (this will cause the [corpus creation](#!/guide/corpuscreator) window to appear, but any new documents will be added to the corpus) - *Remove* documents by selecting one ore more documents at once (using the shift or ctrl/command keys) and then clicking the _Remove_ button (this keeps all of the unselected documents) - *Keep* documents by selecting one ore more documents at once (using the shift or ctrl/command keys) and then clicking the _Keep_ button (this removes all of the unselected documents) - *Reorder* documents by dragging and dropping them within the grid and then hitting the _Reorder_ button Note that only one of these operations can be done at a time, so, for instance, you can first remove some documents and then in the new corpus you can reorder the remaining documents.
