Hello Genealogy Researcher,


When I look at a persons' name in recommended tasks, I review the information through looking at the original document, then attach the source to my genealogy file. Afterwards the same recommended task remains. Am I doing something wrong.?

Also when I look at the middle section of the page, I see information about someone with open all or close all. What am I suppose to do there?

    The recommended task list does not get updated in real time. It just get refreshed every once in a while. I'm not sure the exact time period whether it is each time we log in, every few days, once a week or whatever. So no, you are not doing anything wrong.

    One thing you can do in the website version, just to not keep looking at the same hint over and over when you know it is fully attached, is to click Ignore in the task list. That will remove it.

    Where are these Open All and Close All selections? Is this on the web version or the mobile app version?

    Hello Gordon Collett,

    Thank you for your answer. I will ignore the hints that I know are answered.

    The open and close sections are on the web version.

    Thanks,

    Sandra Bartman

    The task remains there even after linking source. Why is that?
