Hi Kathy,
I've never had five sources that I wanted to apply all at the same time
to the same items of data!
But assuming you did, you'd want to go into Customise Sources and set
7.5 Clipboard capacity to Allow up to five sources at once on the
Source Clipboard.
Then when you open the Source

The Source clipboard has slightly odd behaviour, For example select a
citation and copy it to the clipboard, overwriting if necessary. Open
the source clipboard (set up for 5 sources) and the first tab, Source 1,
contains your citation. At the bottom of the clipboard there is a right
facing arrow.

Just my opinion, I can only tell you what I would do in this situation….

Again, this is going to be personal preference. To share these events you will
have to add the people involved to your database. If you are working in a very
tight community, and you do a lot of collateral research, this might not be a
bad idea because these people are probably related
