Follow-up: Nope. Changing the Detail text in a shared event didn't change the text when it was displayed for a different person. The change only appeared for the primary person in the shared event.

Open up the sample file so you do not miss up your data file. Then open the master source list choose any one of the master sources and make a change. Now when you save it will ask you if you wanted to apply to all places it has been used or do you want to save it to a new source. When you're comfortable with this process and you can apply to your main database. Bobby From: Dick and Leslie Felts [mailto:rjfe...@msn.com] Sent: Friday, December 18, 2015 2:15 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations As a refugee from FTM, I'm working hard to understand the Source/Citation methods of Legacy. So far, so good with one exception. I like to generate a single citation (such as detailed information from a census) and use that citation many times for different people and events. Is there, or is there not, a way in Legacy to revise that citation (to correct a typo, for example) and have the revision apply to ALL places where the citation is used? I've looked through a number of postings to this list from past years and it is still not clear if the feature I'm looking for exists. The equivalent in FTM would be the two choices to either "copy" or "link" a citation. With copied citations, you must edit each occurrence. With linked citations, you can edit any occurrence of the citation and all of them change. Thanks in advance.
