Do this for all the assets, and you're almost done. The next step is to open a C header file (or better yet, create a new one) and to create some <code>extern</code> calls for your new segments:

Remember that segment name I told you that was important and had to be unique? Whatever you set your segment name to, it needs to match the <code>extern</code>'s. Meaning, if you called your segment <code>NAME</code>, then you would need to define the <code>extern</code>'s as <code>_NAMESegmentRomStart</code> and <code>_NAMESegmentRomEnd</code> respectively.

A useful trick, you can <code>extern</code> the codesegment as well:
