Source Edit Facility

I'd like a facility (similar to the one for location) where you can view all the records and the number of links in a scrollable window, see potential duplications/rationalisations and then make the changes/deletions/etc from the screen - rather than the current way of finding the dups, writing down the relevant record #'s and then using a text editor to change each one individually

If you are talking about merging sources you could use the merge record option on the edit menu.

Also you can build a list of all the records using a source by selecting record links from the view menu and using the options icon at the bottom left to save the links as a list.

To see the number of citations to a source on the source tab of the records window I have added a links to column using
=Linksto()
with a heading of Citations
Which shows a count of the number of times a source is used.
