Accepting, deferring & ignoring hints
Open Discoveries (app: the Discoveries tab; website: the hints bell or the hints page). Each hint shows what it will change before you decide.
- Accept β apply it. A same-person hint links the two people; a fact hint copies the fact into your person with a citation; a photo-tag hint adopts the identification.
- Defer β decide later; it stays in your queue.
- Ignore β dismiss it; it won't nag you again.
- Reopen β bring an ignored or deferred hint back if you change your mind.
Accepting is safe and reversible in spirit β it copies information into your tree, it doesn't touch anyone else's. Always glance at what a hint will change before accepting.
