You can add a persona to your library by clicking "New" to create a persona from scratch or "Import" to import from a library.
Personas are fundamental to how Conducttr builds the information environment so there are a lot of fields, but you don't necessarily need to complete them all! At a minimum a persona must have a Name and unique Handle. The handle isn't seen by your players but it's important to you as the designer.
