# Addition The additions of index constituents are categorized into two types: the **index with a constant number of constituents** and the **index with a non-constant number of constituents**. * Index with a constant number of constituents: an addition correlates to a deletion. A constituent must be deleted when another constituent is added to keep the number of constituents constant. * Index with a non-constant number of constituents: an addition does not correlate to a deletion. ## General Rules When the deletion is planned for an index with a constant number of constituents, a corresponding addition must be executed. ## Other Rules When a significant change in circumstance or an emergency happens, the proposal for addition can be made by the Index Committee. The addition must be completed within 24 hours. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
