How to access BeOpt material database to add options?

I am trying to simulate a building with different combinations of continuous and cavity insulation materials. In order to have a combination of continuous and cavity insulation, both a wood frame option and a wall sheathing with continuous insulation option. However, when creating a new wall sheathing option, there are only two choices for continuous insulation: polyiso and XPS. How can I add more material options for continuous insulation? From trying to research and find a solution to this I believe it can be done in the BeOpt options library spreadsheet, but I cannot figure out how to access this.
