To add a new Statement or Requirement to a Document, simply locate the blue [icon name="circle-plus" prefix="far"] New Requirement split dropdown button at the top left of the document toolbar.
This button consists of a primary option button and a secondary dropdown menu grouped together. By clicking on the secondary dropdown menu and selecting a entity class from the list, you change which entity type will be added to the document by default when the primary button is clicked. Essentially, the dropdown menu allows a user preference to be set for wether the primary button will add a new Requirement or Statement entity to the requirements document.
By default, the primary function of the split button is set to add a new Requirement entity.
