First of all, you must add each new item with the Test Now button - one at a time. If you want to add multiple items, you need to use the Test Now button on each of them. *OR* you need to perform a "Quick Reload" on the data files. You can do the quick reload via the Develop menu. Doing things one at a time is much easier, since any errors will be guaranteed to be within the one thing you just modified, so finding the error is relatively quick.

If you add multiple things and don't use the Test Now button on each, you can run into problems when one thing (Thing1) references another (Thing2). If you have not used Test Now on the Thing2, you'll get an invalid unique id error when using Test Now on Thing1.

Adding a thing in the editor does NOT add it to the running program until you use Test Now.
