## Add Cohorts

Select to '**+ Add Cohort**' 

Name your cohort (*Note: Cohort names are visible to learners*)

Specify whether learners are [***automatically***](/english/advanced/learner-cohorts-+-content-groups.md#automated-cohort-assignment) (randomly assigned) or [***manually***](/english/advanced/learner-cohorts-+-content-groups.md#manual-cohort-assignment) assigned (you add them) to the cohort

Associate a content group for the cohort ([*we will cover this later*](/english/advanced/learner-cohorts-+-content-groups/assign-cohorts-to-content-groups.md))

### Assign Learners (Manual Cohort Assignment Method) 

In the **LMS** > **Instructor Dashboard** > **Cohorts** 

**Choose the cohort** you wish to add learners to.

You can either add learners by:

Option 1)  copy + pasting their email addresses, separated by new lines or commas. Then select to '**+ Add new learners**'.

Option 2) uploading a CSV file, by selecting '**Assign learners to cohorts by uploading a CSV file**'.

**Note**: Learners may only belong to 1 cohort. If a learner is already assigned to Cohort A, and you manually assign him to Cohort B, he will automatically be removed from Cohort A.
