Biography - sources

Tool command
Menu command	Main menu > Biography > Sources
Key command	Shift+F7

Manage sources that are linked to the person, the person's facts or the person's families.

  Note that the sources tab only appears when the biography is displayed as a separate window. Also applies to key command.

  Citations that are linked to multiple objects can not safely be edited directly in the table and must be edited in the window Sources and citations.

To manage a source

1. Select the person, family, or the fact to which the source is to be connected in the drop-down menu. The number in parentheses represents the number of sources that are linked to the person, fact or family.
   
     If you select a fact in life path the link to the source is automatically established.
2. Select command (see below) in the shortcut menu  for the task you want to do.

  There are four ways to add a citation:

• New source - where you create a new citation.
• Paste - where you use a copy of a previous citation.
• Switch to existing citation - where you select a citation from the source tree.
• Latest used citations - where you choose one of the citations you have just used.

In the first two cases, there is only a single use of the citation.
