Edits to records not propagating
For the last week or so, any edits I do to records (you know, to fix shoddy indexing), are not being reflected in source linker or anywhere else. At first the edits took a day or more to propagate, now it seems they never will.
It used to be that it only took a moment or two, hit refresh and voila. Now nothing. I just thought someone should know.
This sorta takes the wind outta your sails as you try to clean up the mess that ai makes.

@SerraNola can you help with this please?

@Michael J. Allen This has been an ongoing problem that the engineers are working on. Can you provide some examples for us to review?

Example: try creating a new person inside a birth/death/marriage record. The person you create will not be immediately available to add to a profile. It used to be immediate, but now it seems to take one day for the newly created person to be "available" for adding to a profile. I just did this test yesterday and this morning the new person I created was finally "available" for adding to the profile. Another example: try changing a name inside a birth/death/marriage record that is already attached to a profile in the Sources tab. Save the change. Look at the Source tab in that profile, or do a Search under Records for that record you just changed. It has the old information. Even if you wait a day, it has the old information, whereas, it was immediate before.

Thanks for the input. It looks like I am experiencing #2.
Here's one I edited this morning. I changed the surname Ryer to Dyer for both people before attaching.

@Michael J. Allen Three days and the spelling edit is not showing in the change list, nor in record details. This will be on my watch list. Thanks for sharing.

Five days and it seems to have updated finally. The change history shows my edit occured back on the 18th which it did. Something's not right.
