# Adding new databases to Flex

To add a new database to your Flex server, copy the database folder from your new web archive into the Seascape Flex archive.

In the below example, we show three database folders on the Seascape Flex server. Each folder is named using the Replica ID of the source Notes database:

 

![](/files/Fpi6XwLYKxJYIff5NxW6)

To add an additional database, simply copy the Replica ID folder from the new web archive you created and paste it in the Seascape Flex archive:

![](/files/z9wVlCr8WtZZ1umrSFs8)

After the new folder has been added, open the Seascape Flex control panel and click Change Seascape Flex Settings:

![](/files/OVBVuKW3nzIzjhiILwBK)

Next, select the "Update existing archives" checkbox and click the Update button:

![](/files/H1e3gZsDm6PY8HAc1Cyv)

Once the update is completed, the new database you added will be updated with the Flex design elements such as the advanced search dialog and others.
