In this tutorial, we are going to look for a Manifestation, view a possible match that is already in the EI, and learn about cloning a Manifestation and Expression.

We are going to look for a record for an ebook version of Pilgrim's Inn Hendrickson Publishers Marketing, LLC ISBN 978-1-61970-142-7 First eBook edition -- April 2013
Notice that RIMMF says we already have 3 records in the EI, that match what we searched: "3:RIMMF EI" in blue
This takes us to the EI, where we see 3 headings highlighted. The heading for: "Pilgrim's inn. Hendrickson Publishers Marketing. 2013. Volume" looks close, except for "Volume"; we need "Online resource" Let's say we can't find a Bib record for the ebook, anywhere; so we will clone the Volume data that we have to make it into data for an online resource.
If you are certain that you will be able to use the Expression data that was linked to the Manifestation that you cloned, then choose <Keep relationships>. If you are not certain about this, then choose <Remove relationships>, and check the Expression data later. For now, let us say that we are not certain.
Now, let's see what we have to add or change in this new record.
No change to 'Title Proper'
No change to 'Statement of Responsibility'
No change to 'Place of Publication'
No change to 'Title Proper of Series' or 'Numbering within Series' or 'Mode of Issuance'
Because you selected <Check for Expression> rather than <Link to (EI)>; the record is opened rather than being immediately linked-to; which is good, because you need to check the data for this Expression to see whether it applies to your new Manifestation, or whether you need to clone this data to make a new Expression record.
This template will show you expression elements that have not yet been provided for this Expression, but that you might need for your new resource. 'Content Type' is still: text 'Language of Expression' is still: English Accept 'Date of Expression': 1993 (for the first date of the English text expression)
As far as I can see, no additional expression elements shown in the expanded template, are needed for the new resource; so we can link our new Manifestation to the existing Expression.
Note that we now have 4 manifestations in English. Just for fun,
Notice that starting with the Eliots of Damerosehay saga (Series) takes us to all manifestations of the "Herb of grace" work even the ones that do not have that series as a Title Proper of Series
