+======Editing Cohorts (LEGACY) ======
 ----
 When performing an analysis, usually the first step is to define the population of interest (also known as a cohort). This functionality was originally built as part of the [[http://www.ohdsi.org/web/wiki/doku.php?id=documentation:software:circe|Circe working group]] and now Circe has been fully incorporated into Atlas.

 ===== Cohort Definition (Under construction) =====

-A cohort can be created and may contain for example users of a given drug, people with a specific outcome or some combination of both. Cohorts can be created by clicking on the Cohorts menu item and then the blue New Cohort button in the upper right hand side of the page.
+A cohort can be created and may contain for example users of a given drug, people with a specific outcome or some combination of both. Cohorts can be created by clicking on the Cohorts menu item and then the blue New Cohort button in the upper right hand side of the page. Or you can click the "Define a New Cohort" button from the home page.
+Your cohort will initially be titled 'New Cohort Definition,' as seen in the text field at the top of the screen. Please rename your new cohort in a unique, descriptive manner and hit "Save". Note, your cohort will always remain open as your current working cohort, seen on the top left of the main contents frame, until you hit 'Close.' You will have to close any open cohort before creating a new cohort.
+Please carefully read the paragraph regarding Cohort Definition, which explains what a cohort is and what criteria are needed to define a cohort. You will then need to select and define the Cohort Entry Criteria (Initial Event, Initial Event Inclusion Criteria, and Additional Qualifying Inclusion Criteria). You may also choose to define Cohort Exit Criteria and Censoring Events but these are not required or may not apply to your cohort.
+Please read and follow the instructions closely on how to define each criteria and select the appropriate time windows. Most criteria (except for Demographics) will require you to import concept sets in order to utilize the vocabulary to properly identify your criteria. You can further refine each criteria with additional criteria attributes on the right side of the screen. If you have not previously created your concept set, you can click the 'New Concept Set' button once the import concept set window appears. Once you have filled in all your desired criteria, you have finished building your cohort.
