+===== Quickly Creating Subfolders for Adding Multiple Cases =====
+Case collections are the way to organize your WSIs to be shown in training sessions. Once you've made a Case Collection all the slides within it can quickly be added to as many training sessions as you like.
+Sometimes you may find yourself in a situation with a lot of 'loose' WSI files in a folder, and you want to quickly put each one in it's own Case subfolder.
+Thankfully, we've written a quick script for Windows Command Prompt that will help you get your WSIs in an organised state.
+**If you're using a filetype with just one file per WSI e.g. .dcm, .ndpi:**
+Step 1: Open Command Prompt (type CMD into the windows search bar and open the app)\\
+Step 2: Navigate in Command Prompt to the folder with the WSIs. This is done by typing "cd" and then pasting the path to the folder. Then press enter.\\
+Step 3: Now that you're in the right folder, copy and paste: **for %i in (*) do mkdir "%~ni"** then hit enter. Running this command will make a subfolder for every file, with the same as the file.\\
+Step 4: Copy and paste then enter: **for %i in (*) do move "%i" "%~ni"**
+{{ :add_multiple_cases_3.png?800 |}}
+**If you're using a folder-based filetype e.g. .mrxs that has a folder and a file with the same name**
+Step 1: Open Command Prompt (type CMD into the windows search bar and open the app)\\
+Step 2: Navigate in Command Prompt to the folder with the WSIs. This is done by typing "cd" and then pasting the path to the folder. Then press enter.\\
+Step 3: Now that you're in the right folder, copy and paste: **for /d %i in (*) do mkdir "%i_temp"** then hit enter. Running this command will make a new folder for every folder in the directory, with the same name as the folder + "_temp".\\
+Step 4: Copy and paste then enter:\\ **for /d %i in (*) do ( \\
+if /i not "%i"=="%i_temp" ( \\
+move "%i" "%i_temp\" \\
+) \\
+)**
+This will copy all your existing folders into the newly created "_temp" folders.
+Step 5: Copy and execute **for %i in (*) do move "%i" "%~ni_temp"** \\
+This will move all the loose files into the directory with the same name plus "_temp"
+{{ :add_multiple_cases_4.png?800 |}}
+Please note that:
+  - You can adjust the three "_temp" in all three commands to whatever addition you'd like, however it must be exactly the same for all three commands.
+  - This script only works when the folder and the file both have exactly the same name - if this is not the case you will need to devise a custom script as we cannot anticipate all naming conventions.
+  - If you have multiple WSIs that have to go into the same case, you will need to devise a custom script as we cannot anticipate what your combination of WSIs per case is.
