Sources attached to the main tree and not the CET tree
I've been having problems deciding what to do with sources that are attached to the main tree and not the private one since there is no way to have the same one in two profiles. What should I do? Do I need to create a new source every time this happens? That's kinda of a tedious job if I'm being honest

@Mateus Seixas Thank you for offering to test the early release of CET. I have made the engineering team aware of your concerns. I will update you with the progress of this issue. Please remember that this is early testing and that additional features are forthcoming that will aid in comparing and moving information from the public tree to your private tree.

Mateus,
By design each tree in the FamilySearch system is separate from all others. That means that a person PID cannot exist in two separate trees at the same time and that there is no merging of similar PIDs across trees.
The new tree system, temporarily codenamed CET, is being built so that users can choose to use either tree system and won't need to use both, unless for some reason they wish to. Eventually all key research and church member related functions will be available in the CETs directly. The movement of data between trees will be facilitated by several key tools:
1) Tree2Tree person matching and a new Compare & Copy tool. Each tree at FamilySearch will be matched against most others. Users will be alerted when an individual in their tree has a high confidence match vs an individual in another tree. Users will be able to align that individual, with the surrounding family members, and, while assessing all available genealogical evidence, determine if "These people are those people?". If so, they will be able to create a new "empty" person in their tree and copy all of the person data, notes, source and memories from the matched tree person onto the new person in their tree. This will also put a note on each of the persons in the two trees indicating that a user has determined them to be the same person.
2) Long term, these notes may help alert users when meaningful new data is added to one person. ex. If I conclude that "Mike" in treeA is the same as "Michael" in treeB and later someone adds new marriage info and a source to Michael in treeB, I may be alerted and can align and copy that data into my tree.
In any case, a change on a person in one tree will not automatically result in a change to a linked tree person without the user evaluating the research done in the first tree.1 -
@Mateus Seixas I hope that Robert Kehrer's explanation above sufficiently answers your concerns. If you have additional comments about this issue, please post it below. If you have comments on a different issue, please begin a new discussion. Again, thank you for testing the early release of CET.
