Source Template

I am trying to enter data in the new Family Historian templates via Ancestral Sources but I am obviously missing something. I am using method 1 and I have been into the template editor and have selected the template I want. My problem is that when the source is saved to Family Historian it still uses the General Source tab and not the new template I want.

Go to Tools->Options and tick the 'Use Template Sources' option. You'll then see an 'Edit Templated Source' link at the top of the main AS screen. Once you've entered all your data click that link and edit the fields as necessary.

I hope that helps
