Why are record hints that appear in descendancy view not show up any longer on person page?

I enjoy attaching record hints. I always find them on descendancy view and then open the person's page to attach. They no longer show up on the person's page. I do not think I have changed anything with my settings. Can someone help me get them back???

    It isn't you or anything you did, @Ann Hansen. This was a change discussed around the time of RootsTech 2020 to make less certain hints less available to beginning contributors. For me, the change has been very welcome; I am needing to fix fewer messes by others.

    From the descendancy tree view, I click a hint icon to open a pop-up menu, and from that menu click each hint to open it in a new tab.

    Another route to hints is on the Family Tree web (not mobile) interface, Details page, page menu (right sidebar if your browser window is wide enough, else upper right corner of page in the ••• menu), under Research Helps, select Show All.

    Thank you! That method of clicking a hint icon to open a pop-up menu worked!

    Also, I did not have the Research Helps menu open... must have closed it by mistake.

    You have solved my problem! Bless you!!!!

    Thanks for your feedback! Glad I could help.

    You should see a footer that asks if that answered your question. Please select Yes. That will help this discussion drop off some to-do lists.
