Decide where you want your new part to be. I suggest creating your own library. If you have your own library it will be easier to share your work with others.
1) To create a new library go to the menu bar and select File->New->Library

2) Add to existing library in the left pane of the control panel right click on the library you want to add the part to and select open.

This step is confusing. Should item (1) be done, then item (2), or is it (1) OR (2)? I'm guessing the latter, based on the title. However given that creating your own library is recommended, why even mention adding to an existing library?

If you have your own custom library already, it might make more sense to add new devices to that library rather than creating a new library for each custom device you add :) It could be clearer though that this is an either/or step.
