How to add phases (or use sub projects)

In MS Project I often used subprojects and could easily reference them in one row of the WBS. So, I looked for instructions on how to do this and the most relevant hit suggested that "phases" be used. However, the help instructions are either wrong or I am not interpreting them correctly. The instructions say to add a phase, open the schedule (I am assuming the Gantt / WBS), click a white space, then select Add a Phase. However, clicking a white space in a row just puts you into edit mode for that column within that task row. Right-click does not product the desired option to Add a Phase.

Searches of the help topics with "subproject" and "phase" have been unproductive.
