I agree - I NEVER use more than one source on the clipboard as is - but would dearly love to have the option of 'loading' several sources but opting to attach only one. For instance, when I am searching UK Census records on Ancestry.com.au I often find myself switching backwards and forwards between different years as I try follow a family. It would be so much easier to have the source details for five Census years on the clipboard so I could select the one I required for a particular record without having to change the source itself backwards and forwards form one year to another.

When I checked into using the Source Clipboard (SC) and noticed the 5 tabs, I was hoping that I would be able to paste any or all of the 5 loaded sources into my data. I.e., have a choice of whether I wanted to use SOURCE1, SOURCE3, etc., or maybe even 2 out of the 5. Having to paste *all* of the sources currently loaded in the SC at once seems to be a feature that I would use only rarely, since I rarely have 5 different sources at once that I would use as a source for just one of the fields on the individual's information sheet. The SC would be so much more useful if the user could pick one or more of the 5 loaded sources to paste. The way it is, I see very little reason to ever save a file of 5 different sources for later use. It would also be a better tool if we had the ability to edit all fields of the sources that are loaded into the SC from within the SC. Being able to copy detail source citations into it on the fly would also improve its utility. Now, I would love to hear someone talk me out of this way of thinking and convince me that this is a better tool than it appears to be. I'm not saying it is of *no* use but I do think it could be improved greatly. I would appreciate some examples of how you use this tool to help me better understand it. I have read the help samples and see how it could help in that situation on a temporary basis. I looked at the archives and notice this has been talked about before but it appears to have been a while (I could be wrong :)). Thanks for your thoughts on this issue!
