Is there a method to correct the page a source document image opens to?
I have found on many occasions that a source document does not always open to the page with my family member referenced. I must page to the left or right to locate the specific page.
I have an example here:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPNZ-5RKB
This source document opens to Page 228 of 574, but I must scroll to the right to page 230 to find the person Caroline Wilhelmine Chall.
Is there a process for me as a user to see that this can open to the proper page the next time it is opened to view? Or a way to add a reference note to the attached that the information is on page 230 of page 574?

I'm not aware of any way of using the index editor to correct the image association (and given the bugginess of that software, I'm afraid to even try).
What you can do is edit the attached sources in Family Tree, giving the correct image number (and/or the correct link) in the Notes/Description field. For this, you'll need to find the correct 1841 source in each of the three profiles' Sources lists; I find it easiest to identify them by URL. Once you've found the right one, click Edit.
Scroll down on the resulting popup to the Notes field and type (or paste) the correction/explanation into it.
I went ahead and saved my change on Caroline's source so that you can see where the contents of that field end up in the source display.

@Julia Szent-Györgyi Thanks for sharing, Julia. That's a great idea I hadn't thought of.

Thank you for the suggestion Julia, I will have take some time to fully absorb this process. Your screen captures of your steps are very helpful.
