+When working with full-pattern fits, it is sometimes useful to pay attention only to the peaks that are not being indexed and fit by the full pattern fit. One reason for this may be to learn more about a phase that is not currently being fit or with magnetic scattering, one may have fit the chemical ("nuclear") structure and one needs to identify the additional peaks that are seen below a magnetic phase transition in order to understand the lowered symmetry of the magnetic lattice, or similarly to explore lowering of symmetry as a phase transitions to the symmetry of a subgroup, perhaps as the temperaure is lower or as ions order due to a compositional change. In "Extra Peak mode", individual peak fitting is performed not on the diffraction data, but rather on the difference between the observed pattern and that computed from the full pattern fitting. A separate peak list is kept for these "extra peaks". This "Extra Peak Mode" can be entered either from pressing the button labeled "Switch to In "Extra Peak mode", or by using the checkmark menu button in the "Peak Fitting" menu labeled "Add impurity/subgrp/magnetic peaks."
