Editing existing fields while comparing new source information.

Larry Dean Andrew said: When comparing sources, the existing information may not have a last name, but the new source does. It would be nice to be able to edit the name and add the last name without having to leave the source comparisons... In fact, it would be nice to edit all existing fields while comparing new sources. Frequently, additional information is presented, but editing / adding that option is not available while comparing.

John Huff said: The ability to edit existing conclusions when comparing a source to a Tree profile is scheduled to be available later this year. Gordon is correct that we want to ensure the decision to edit an existing conclusion is done within the context of the existing sources.
