+project, you will be
+offered a chance to link the imported phase to the previously
+imported histogram(s). Likewise, if histograms(s) are imported after
+phase(s) you will also be asked to link the new data to existing
+phases. It is also possible to add
+histograms to a phase later by selecting that phase in the data tree
+and then selecting the "Data" tab and finally using the "Edit
+Phase"/"Add powder histograms" menu command.
+Note that

+a GSAS-II project (other than as limited by available computer
+memory), but phases that are not linked to at least one histogram are
+ignored in refinements.
