In 'full name review' when marking multiple instances of the same name, should each box be filled?

The instructions on 'full name review' state that you should highlight and select each instance of the same name. Should you have the name listed in each of the boxes? or only one for each part of the name?

Thanks for your question. I'm not seeing anywhere in the instructions for Full Name Review that state you should highlight each instance of the same name. I think I remember that it used to state this. But now the instructions in step 2 state "if you see a name more than once, you don't need to select it here."

Here's a great article that may answer some of your questions: https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/full-name-review

Um, I actually found a section where it still asks you to record every instance of a name here. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/help-with-full-name-review
Its basically at the bottom of the list.

Thanks for reporting that. I will send it to the engineers.

So its confirmed that we shouldn't highlight every instance of the same name anymore?

We haven't heard back from the engineers yet. Until we do, I would go with the instructions on the activity that state "if you see a name more than once, you don't need to select it here."
