I'm adding info the Details areas but they are not appearing.

Sources I added in 2020 do not show my name anymore, nor the source I added. For example (person W9B-FK9), today I only see this:

I normally could see all the stuff typed in "Reason This Information is Correct" and who made the last edit. Now I don't see that unless I click Edit. Is something broken, or this is something new?

    @Blau Debra

    FYI

    I am somewhat confused ...

    Question: What am I missing?

    With "View Details"; as, "OFF".

    With "View Details"; as, "ON"

    image.png

    But ...

    That Said ...

    There is NO reference, in the "ChangeLog", for either, the addition; and/or, the deletion, of a "Source".

    [ And, no indication of any "Merges"/"Combines" ... ]

    We would like to assist you in determining whey reason statements are not showing. Unfortunately the PID number you provided  W9B-FK9 is not valid

    We appreciate your interest in the way our site performs, and welcome your comments. As to seeing reason statements, Yes you are correct, you can see them after clicking on Edit for that Vital information.

    However each change, additions and correction is also reflected in Latest Changes from that individual's record.

    I have been building trees here since before 2020. At no time have I seen Reason statements on the Details page.

    May I suggest moving the source information from Reason statements to the Sources page?

    @dontiknowyou

    FYI

    Many of us have been working in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' for a lot longer than since 2020.

    Many of us worked in the forerunner to "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; being. "New.FamilySearch'; and, even well before that.

    Many of us already know that ...

    ▬ We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    ▬ We ONLY have "Branches" (ie. Ancestral" Lines), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    Plus, I have seen, MANY; Many; many, cases where "Reason Statements" (ie. Reason This Information Is Correct:) appear/have been added, in both, the "Vitals" Section; and, the "Other Information" Section. And, I have added, MANY; Many; many, "Reason Statements" (ie. Reason This Information Is Correct:), in both, the "Vitals" Section; and, the "Other Information" Section, myself.

    Thanks everyone. Brett's reply showed me the problem. In error, I had Detail View turned off. Turning it back on, I can now see everything I used to see for years.

    The source information still belongs on the Sources page.

    For what it is worth, on the mobile app there is no Detail View. Also, Detail View OFF is the default on the web interface. This is part of why source notes belong in the Sources page and caveats about vital details belong in Notes (found under Collaborate on the web interface).

    (@Brett . , that boilerplate you posted totally misses the point. And you addressed me by accident..?)
