2. **Add books from directories and sub-directories**: Allows you to choose a directory. The directory and all its sub-directories are scanned recursively, and any e-books found are added to the library. You can choose whether to have calibre add all files present in a single directory to a single book record or multiple book records. calibre assumes that each directory contains a single book. All e-book files in a directory are assumed to be the same book in different formats. This action is the inverse of the :ref:`Save to disk <save_to_disk_multiple>` action, i.e. you can :guilabel:`Save to disk`, delete the books and re-add them in single book per directory mode, with no lost information except for the date (this assumes you have not changed any of the setting for the Save to disk action).
4. **Add multiple books from archive (ZIP/RAR)**: Allows you to add multiple e-books that are stored inside the selected ZIP or RAR files. It is a convenient shortcut that avoids having to first unzip the archive and then add the books via one of the above two options.

The :guilabel:`Add books` action can read metadata from a wide variety of e-book formats. In addition, it tries to guess metadata from the filename.
See the :ref:`config_filename_metadata` section, to learn how to configure this.
