Improvement Request: "+ Add Tag"
In the three places I use to add tags to existing information:
The Data View popup:
The Sources tab:
And the Sources side panel (which is basically the same as the source page just squeezed into the smaller area):
It is not clear at first glance that you use the same link to remove tags as you do to add tags which could be confusing for users.
Could these link labels be changed to, in the same order as above:
Edit Source Tags
± Edit Tags
± Edit Tags
so it is clearer that the link has both functions?

This is an excellent—and helpful—idea. To make sure it gets to the right place, can you please send it through the "Suggest an Idea" page.
Click the provided link (above) and follow the instructions, including uploading these helpful images.
And thanks for the feedback!

@AmberML1 The Suggest an Idea option has been locked for many months. We don't know if anything will ever surface. And other users never see the suggestions. Suggestions seem to go into a locked closet to which we have no access.

I verified it this past week…and the "Suggest an Idea" is available again. It is a different procedure, but it is available.

But, invisible to all of us - including those of us who submit a suggestion.

Yes @AmberML1 the current Suggest an Idea form is barely usable (I really have tried) and Ideas vanish from sight immediately they are submitted. None of this inspires any confidence that the time spent has not simply been wasted.

Suggest an Idea is working as it was designed. An idea may occasionally be shared with the Community in the Suggest an Idea category if FamilySearch needs to gauge user interest. Otherwise the ideas go straight to the appropriate teams for review.
You can read about these procedures in this post:

@Ashlee C. could I request thet the submission should at least be shown to the submitter, ideally with our standard 4 hour edit window? Or a 'save a copy' button provided? Otherwise the submitter has no copy for their records or to share elsewhere on the Community.
It is no longer even possible to take a screenshot of the form before submission; the form's main box, the one for situation/need/outcome/benefit, is only 4 lines high, though scrolling is possible, so it is very awkward to complete.
And the examples box does not wrap round or permit carriage returns, I had to move my examples into a word doc and upload them as a pdf 'screenshot' when I submitted one on Wednesday.
