Graham, After you have added a Master Source, the Source Detail screen is where you add the specifics. For example, your Master Source might be the 1850 census. The Detail Screen is where you would put the exact location, page, household number, name of head of household etc.
If you click on the Help menu, over on the right you will see Tutorial Lessons. Click that and then look for How to Document Your Information. There will be a couple more links on that page that will give you additional information (Citing the Sources of Your Information is a good one).

I understand it has to do with evidence and proof - but why has it been included in Legacy and where do we see the results of answering the individual questions? Yes, I also understand it is optional, but if the results of selecting the answers don't show up anywhere - what's the point of having it? Or am I missing something about it? As you indicated - use is optional. It assists you in determining your level of confidence in the source information you are utilizing. From Legacy help: "The Source Quality screen is reached by clicking the Analyze Source Quality button on the Detail Information tab of the Source Citation Detail screen. The basic principle is explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills in her Evidence Explained book: SOURCES provide INFORMATION from which we select EVIDENCE for ANALYSIS. A sound CONCLUSION may then be considered "PROOF." SOURCE Select whether this source is an Original or a Derivative of the original. Or choose I don't know if you are not sure. INFORMATION Select Primary if the information in the source was provided by someone with firsthand knowledge, or Secondary if the information is secondhand. Or again, I don't know if you are not sure. EVIDENCE If the source answers the question you are trying to resolve all by itself, select Direct. If the source helps to answer the research question but doesn't do it directly, select Indirect. Or, if you can infer an answer to the research question by the lack of information in the source, select Negative. Or, if you are not sure, select I don't know."
