Re: [LegacyUG] Deleting Sources
Thank you very much, Ron! That's how we learn. I had never noticed the new button on the bottom right that gives you the option to delete source and citations.

Re: [LegacyUG] Deleting Sources from Selected Individuals
Hi Gene, Now you're back to a long long way around to my solution ;-) I haven't tried it but you should be able to use an Intellishare merge to merge the tagged group back with the original source attached only to the relevant people.

RE: [LegacyUG] Deleting Sources from Selected Individuals
Dan, Yep, your right, incorrectly read. Not enough coffee after just waking. Mark I believe the OP (original poster) wanted to delete the Master Source citations from only some individuals, but not all of them, and keep the original Master Source and it's citations for the other individuals - so, steps 5 and 6 won't be necessary in that case.
