Source Linker jumps from CET to the FamilySearch Family Tree and back
I was adding names by generation to connect a person I was researching in the FamilySearch Family Tree to the same person in the CET. I am doing descendancy research and I trace a line back to a reasonably remote ancestor and then start researching forward in time, adding names to the Family Tree to link the person to my CET. I keep the View Relationship open, so I don't leave the pedigree by starting to research a collateral ancestor. So, I have the FamilySearch Family Tree open to keep me on the particular line I am researching. While I was copying the line back to the original ancestor, I got an error message when attaching a source that the person I was looking for was already in the family tree, but she wasn't. Then, when I went back to look for my research person, I found his ID number had changed and I was working with FamilySearch and FamilySearch said the Person Not Found. Because even though the titles said I was working on the CET, I was actually working on the FamilySearch.org Family Tree.

I had tried to add a record from a search when I think that the program changed trees.

@James Tanner - The Source Linker and Hinting features are still being developed for the CET experience and as such will not behave in the way you are hoping to yet. You can see our list of coming soon features at our Features: Currently Supported, Coming Soon & Not Yet Supported .... Announcement. Please review this list to see if what you are running into may be something not yet fully developed or coming later. Thank you for helping us with this project as your insights are extremely valuable.

I understand that but if I want to see what happens as I work with the CET, I am finding things that aren't covered by the list of features and coming attractions.
