Source / Citation

After upgrading to V7 I have been tidying things up and have got to ensuring my FACTS are cited. In V6 6 I seem to recall that at the foot of the citation pane (circled in red in the attached image) there was another pane that showed further details about the date of entry, providence of the source (primary / secondary etc). Despite looking at my setting and checking the FHUG I cant find where I am going wrong of how to change my settings to see this. Can someone assist. Thanks

Check the FH Help > What's New in Family Historian 7? > New Citation Window and all the other new stuff too!

Also FHUG KB What's New in the Knowledge Base for Version 7 (WIP) that has links to the FH website & Help pages for new stuff, and lots on Source Citations in FH V7.

Mike

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, I don't think that I could see the wood for the tree's last night.

there have been many posts with confused people re the new sources displays, all I can say is once you get used to it (I still use the old generic/simple v6 method), I find the new extra floating window, which can mirror the old v6 version, more productive, especially if you have more than 1 screen.
This post and its links to the Knowledge Base might help, and there are other posts.
