[ Suggested ENHANCEMENT ... ]

Subject:  WHY are WE receiving "Discovery" NOTIFICATIONS about RECORDS that have ALREADY been ATTACHED

... Especially, those Records, that We OURSELVES, have in fact "Attached" (in my case, some x7 Seven Years ago) ...

[ Submitted in the "Topics" of, "Family Tree"; and, "General User Interface"; and, "Other" ... ]

Campaign:  Record Discovery

https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/record-discovery

https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/record-discovery

Example ...

"Discovery" NOTIFICATION

User: "Campaigns _ Discovery _ NOTIFICATIONS _ Record _ Discovery _ Source _ ALREADY _ Attached _ 0.jpg"

Campaign

User: "Campaigns _ Discovery _ NOTIFICATIONS _ Record _ Discovery _ Source _ ALREADY _ Attached _ 1.jpg"

'See', the Record, is ALREADY "Attached"; and, upon examination, in fact, that was "Attached" by Myself, in the first instance, some x7 Years previously ...

.

CONSIDERATION

It seems, 'pointless'; even, 'senseless'; more so, boarding on 'wastefulness', providing a (particular) User/Patron, with a "Discovery" NOTIFICATION, about a RECORD "Hint", for an/their Ancestor, that is ALREADY "Attached"; especially, one that that particular User/Patron, had actually "Attached" to the particular individual/person, in the first instance, some YEARS previously.

I do not mind the various "Campaigns" ...

I just DISLIKE (and, consider it 'Wasteful', of a User's/Patron's 'Time'), getting "Discovery" NOTIFICATIONS, in regard to the various "Campaigns", such as the above; where, a RECORD "Hint", for one of their Ancestors, that is ALREADY "Attached"; especially, by the User/Patron (themselves), in the first instance, some YEARS previously.

.

REQUEST 

Please ...

Can I humbly suggest, that 'FamilySearch', needs to have ALL the various "Campaigns" REVIEWED, with regard to 'sending out' those (ie. ANY) "Discovery" NOTIFICATIONS, for RECORD "Hints" (and, the like), that are ALREADY "Attached"; especially, by the particular User/Patron themselves, previously, in the first instance.

.

'Thank You' in advance.

Submitted for your, information; attention; and, consideration.

Kind Regards,

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU IN THIS IMPORTANT WORK.

Yours faithfully,

Brett

ps:  I will ALSO give, that "Feedback" Link, on the 'right-hand-side' of the "Campaign" page/screen, a go as well ...
