Once a RootsMagic person has been matched to a person on FamilySearch, you may wish to compare and exchange notes between RootsMagic and FamilySearch. The notes tab will display the notes attached to the RootsMagic person on the left and the notes attached to the FamilySearch person on the right.

Clicking the checkbox in front of a note will bring up a screen with one or more options available for the note. You can copy a note from RootsMagic to FamilySearch (as either a note or a source), or from FamilySearch into RootsMagic, and you can also delete or edit a note on FamilySearch. Choose what you want to do with the note and then select the options for that comand. Some options (like copying a source from RootsMagic to FamilySearch) will also ask you to enter a reason why you are making that change.
In either case, RootsMagic will display the note you are about to copy or edit in an edit field, and you can make any changes you want before copying it over.
