How does one add a series?

There used to be the ability in Common Knowledge to add books to series, or even add a series. That appears to be gone now and I have the first book in a five-book series for which There is no series in LT listed. The title/series in question is The Vacuum of Space by Julia Huni and is the first in her Space Janitor series.

Oh, your work just needed to be combined with the others with the same book. The series is there now.

Thank you. However, I still wonder why the Series line was taken out of Common Knowledge. Admittedly I have not needed to go there often of late but it was nice to have it there. If and when I did, I could tell at a glance if there was a series. And I could add a series if I was the only one with that particular one. If it is not there (in CK), where is it?

It is still on the main work page, just with the work to work relationships.

If there is a regular series, you will still see it under the title and author, whether or not you have entered the book.

For whys and such, see https://blog.librarything.com/main/2020/06/series-gets-a-revamp/

From the Main page, the place to add that a book is part of a series, to edit series information etc is above Common Knowledge. You can search series, you can see if there are series listed under that author (in case the series has more than one possible name) etc.
