How to attach the second page when a Source carries over?
When I attach a Person to a Source that's part of a Collection, how should I handle the case where the Source continues on the next page?
I see two ways to add a Source to a Person:
1) In the Person record, manually add a new Source.
2) In the Collection, attach a Person record to an Indexed name;
I tried method 1: manually adding that 2nd page to the Person Sources. It works but the Source preview is not included and I can't figure out how to add it.
Method 2 would seem to require updating the Index of that 2nd page in the Collection (to include the names mentioned in the first page) so that I can attach Persons to the Collection image.
Or do I simply indicate that there are two pages in the Person Source title (e.g. "Harry Gates (2 pages) <Collection title>"?

If an index entry isn't grouped with a family member's index entry, then the available options depend on several factors. Was the other person indexed? If yes, is the index fully correctable (i.e., does it have the new "edit everything" index-correction tool/viewer available)? If the other person was not indexed, are there other index entries associated with the image that he is on?
1.) If the other person was indexed, but the collection is not fully correctable, then you'll need to attach his index entry separately. (You should be able to get to it from the image's Image Index tab.) The source summary/preview will not include any mention of his family members, but you can add them in the source's Notes/Description field if you want.
2.) If the other person was indexed, and the collection is fully correctable, then you can fix the household grouping and then use Source Linker to attach the sources to the full household/family.
3.) If the other person was not indexed, but the image he's on has index entries associated with it, then you can either use the "Source Box" button on the image, or add the source using the image's URL, starting either from the profile's Sources tab or pane, or from your account's view of your Source Box. The resulting source will not have any index information associated with it, so there will be nothing like what you're calling a "Source preview". You can, however, include mentions of the other household/family members in the Notes/Description field.
4.) If the other person was not indexed, and neither was anyone else from the image he's on, then you can use the blue "Attach to Family Tree" button to attach the image (and your transcription/description) to him and any of his immediate family (parents, siblings, spouses, children) that the image also applies to. You can also attach the source using any of the methods in scenario 3.
Note that the types of sources attached in scenarios 1 and 2 are very different from the things attached in scenarios 3 and 4. The former are index entries, and are meant to be one-to-one: one indexed person, one profile. The latter are images, for which the attached thing is one instance of the source, i.e., it's one-to-many. The source title for the second type of source should be somewhat generic, because if you attach it to Tom, Dick, and Harry, and edit the title to say just Tom, it'll say just Tom on Dick's and Harry's profiles, too.
Note also that regardless of the scenarios, there is a fifth option: you can use the "Copy to Source Box" option on the indexed source of one of the family members from the previous page, and then attach that copy to the people who are on the following page. This will show the index information in the "Source preview", though without the missing people; you'll have to add them in the Notes/Description field, along with the information that they're on the following page/image.
