Question / Help Unable to set up sources

This is my first time using OBS, and I've been through the manual both in the software and through the Twitch help areas. I'm trying to set a Global Source to stream Minecraft - specifically FTB modpacks. (Using Windows 10, if that makes any difference.) When I click the 'Global Sources' button in the lower portion of the screen, I get a window with Add/Remove/Rename/Properties/Import and OK as buttons, and a list on the left with my attempts at creating sources. I have tried Game Capture, Window Capture and Monitor Capture. (Game Capture because it looked obvious, Monitor Capture because I saw a help topic that suggested that Open GL games needed to use Monitor Capture, and Window Capture because I was running out of ideas.)

If I hit 'OK', I go back to the main screen, but the Global Sources list there is blank. Attempting to stream brings up a dialog stating 'You haven't added any sources! Are you sure you want to stream a black screen?' Previewing the stream gives me - you guessed it - a black screen. One other thing to mention - I am not using a laptop. Saw that thread too. :D

I'm trying to add sources anywhere. Going back through the settings screens, I'm unable to find the word 'Source' anywhere but that particular button.

Addendum: I happened to find someone on another forum who showed me where I went wrong. At no point in the documentation does it indicate that the white box labeled 'Sources' is anything other than a selection list. Having something that states that you have to click in this featureless white box to get the option to add a source would have saved me hours of frustration.
