How to add media to project but not timeline?

I am using Movie Studio 16.0 on a Windows 10 PC and I am a new user. Whenever I add new media to the project (a video source file) it automatically adds itself to the timeline. This is weird because when I mouse-over the "Add Media" button, it actually says "will not be added to the Timeline". Uh, no, it actually does. So if I add 5 video files, they all go straight to the Timeline and fill it up. This is inconvenient to my workflow and I then have to delete everything that was added. This is particularly inconvenient when I'm already in the middle of editing.

I want to be able to add media to the project and then add it (or an extraction from it) to the timeline manually AT MY OWN DISCRETION.

Is there a way to do this?

@Marco. Your link doesn't take me to the page.I'd expect This one which vkmast gave me months ago appears more suitable.

@EricLNZ it should as well if you choose "My problem is not solved here". ATM (for me) it takes ages to proceed in the process.

Thanks vk but this is the page that opens for me from the link. Obviously I'm missing something?

@EricLNZ click "13.Common questions". "My problem is not solved here" is on the next page. Choose that. This works for me.
