Adding New VI's to existing library and modifying .mnu files

I have a library of my Instrument Driver.
sometime later recently we had a maintenance release for it where we added a few more functions to it.
I need to update the earlier existing Library for the instrument driver along with the menu items for the new functions in the functions palette
How do i do it?

Hi

Use the "VI Library Manager" in LV. You find it under Tools>>VI Library Manager. I have the PDS version of LV so I'm not sure if the base or FDS package have this tool too.

Thanks for the answer
I have used that. But it does not allow to add to existing library any new VI or function.
I have tried converting to Directory and then adding VI's and then reconverting to Library. In this case it does not add the .mnu files and hence cannot be navigated through the functions subpalette.
I can locally modify the Palette view using the "Edit Palette option" but then when I am distributing the LIbrary, the new function(additions) wont be available in navigation through menu in fucntions subpalette in the users machine.

Is there any way I can put info in teh llb file about the .mnu files or then can the .mnu files be updated to add the new functions so that the library can be distributed too.

Thanks in Advance
Rajesh
