Adding a new material to *ANY* Library

Hi, I am trying to add a material. I want to add common 3D print filaments, principally ASA PTEG as we use different materials here in production. A work around is to Duplicate an existing material and customise it, so I did all that on my Mac to find that you can't click OK. I found a post on Autodesk saying this does not work on a Mac, and make sure you don't download Fusion from the Apple Store (I didn't). Ok, so I fire up the Windows machine, and try it on that. Same problem. I would really appreciate a solution to this as having the correct material in the parts list seems a pretty basic thing to me!

 

Many thanks in Advance!

One of the mistakes a lot of individuals make is that they do not realize all material editing and creation must take place in the Favorites folder of the Material Browser.  Then the second thing usually missed is that all Fusion 360 libraries are locked to additions.  Take a look at the video as I set through the process.  By the way, I am using a Windows 10 based computer.
