Hi Barton, If you want to alert Legacy to problems with the Templates, you have to submit a BUG report.
Re the Repository, you can add any repository from the Source Info tab in that template (Click the plus sign at the end of the Repository line) or the Repository Tab (Click Add). If NARA is already amongst your repositories, you can, of course, select. I'm not getting a freeze - which doesn't mean you aren't - just that we may have different settings somewhere. Some templates have the repository "hard-wired" as there is only one archive for the information - eg US Census - but other templates are more general and can be used for sources from different repositories - eg Land Sources from another country.
