When satisfied with the list, press the <strong>Save to Database</strong> button.

<span>You can copy and paste the talks from the Public Talk List (S-99) or directly from jw.org. The result of the public talk outlines in the documents section may be displayed on multiple pages with 15 talks on each. If this list contains both, the talk number along with its theme, then you can copy and paste the talks directly from each page.</span> 
<br><span>In each case you need to check and <a href="#revised_public_talk_outlines">update revised or discontinued talks</a> afterward. A separate form accompanying the Public Talk List (S-99) may be available, that contains corrections. If this form is not available in your language, you can find updated talks also if you filter the public talk outlines by the revision date found on the S-99 form. Check also the announcements (S-147) regarding public talks for further informations (e.g. discontinued date).</span>
