Gedcomcompare ADD buttons

On GEDCOMpare the problem I am having is that, after I have Confirmed and Rejected Maches on GEDCOM file, I am not seeing the ADD button next to the names on my tree I want to add. My options are SEARCH or COMPARE WITH. If I hit SEARCH, it either says that the person is not currently in wikitree, or it sends me to the ancestor who is already in wikitree. No option to ADD.

If I hit COMPARE WITH, I am sent to the COMPARE WITH PAGE and I am given the choice to MATCH but not ADD. What am I doing wrong? Again, thanks for your help.

You still have over 1700 Suggested matches to review. This may be partly because some of the names in your gedcom have Unknown as a surname. For example, you have listed "Jonathan Wickware Unknown." Is his last name "Wickware" or "Unknown?" This use of Unknown is triggering many, many suggested matches and it is causing the Add buttons not to appear. The Add buttons will NOT appear until all suggested matches have been reviewed and accepted or rejected.

Just to add to this, you should ensure that the option to Hide Completed Rows is not selected.

Even if a row is marked as completed, the suggestions must still be reviewed and either matched or rejected before the Add option becomes available.
