A single Segment is needed for each part of a material you want to use in a publication. eg. 'Chapter 1 commentary'.
If you are creating an Outline for collation you will need to create an Segment of the desired part of each witness Material (such as Chapter 1 siglum a) To create a collatable Outine you must create and add all the outlines you wish to collate against each other. So you would create Chapter 1, siglum a,b,m,f,z for collation as an Outine and then add Chapter 1 siglum a, Chapter 1 siglum b, Chapter 1 siglum m, Chapter 1 siglum f and, Chapter 1 siglum z to it to create the collatable Outine.

Note: If there are no Outlines in the selected entry in the Include Material list, you can add Outlines by selecting the entry you want and clicking the Annotate Structure list which will bring you to the Outline popup in the Structure Tab under Materials Tab.
