Please add these features / settings on the app and site, regarding the Source Box:

-a toggle button to see whether the "Save to Sourcebox" is on. There isn't an easy way to see this currently, and occasionally everything I work on gets added to my Sourcebox because of this

-when clearing out / removing items from the Sourcebox please add the option to "exclude items currently in a folder". This allows for clearing en masse WITHOUT having to look at every record. For instance, when I've attached a couple hundred census records, but I only want to keep the records in the folders I am using for research.

Here's an unrelated glitch I just remembered:

For the phone only [Google Pixel 7, Android, for context in case this is a glitch] - you cannot edit multiple names when editing the names on a census. You can edit the single person you clicked on, click out, click another name, and so forth. Especially when we are familiar with surnames in the geographical area we are studying, allowing us to correct this would be helpful.
