Hey! I'm still pretty new to yWriter7, but I'm getting the hang of it. 

Can I append the outline? I currently have 15 chapters uploaded. I have plotted out the next several chapters and I'd like to add them to my existing chapters. Is that possible?

Thanks!
Sherry

Thats, not possible, I'm afraid. Basically, the idea is to use yWriter for outlining. As far as I know, you can import outlines made with other applications to create new projects, but not to extend existing ones.
However, if you have put more work into your outlines than into your new yWriter project, you can discard the yWriter project and create it anew using your complete outline. 

By the way, what's the point of incrementally creating your outline outside of ywriter? Are you preferring a text editor on a mobile device?

Cheers, 
Peter

This may not be what's being asked, but one option would be to create a new project from the new outline, then append that project to your main one. (Project - Import into Current Project - Append Project)

Cheers
