    Sources

    I am using Reunion 10. Is there an easy way to delete a source completely from Reunion and replace it with an entirely new source? I have a source in Reunion that is not right and want to delete it completely and replace it with another source, without having to change it separately for the 246 entries I have, which would take a lot of time.

    Just edit the existing source so that it is what you want it to be.

        In the manual, search for "change source" (without the quote marks) to see how to change an existing source from one type to another. Then, click on "Source Fields" button at the top left of the source window. Fill in the fields listed. You can add or delete fields as you wish. Click "Done". This will change the source for all it is attached to.

        Hope this helps.

          Note though, that any info "already" in fields not used in the new arrangement, of other linked people. Where will that info go?

            Fields won't be removed from existing sources, they just won't be present when you create a new source of that type (after making changes) -- that way there's no risk of data loss.
