Discussions are a feature of FamilySearch that allow you to collaborate with others to discuss what information is correct or incorrect for a person. RootsMagic has full support for discussions by clicking the "Discussions" tab on the FamilySearch Person Tools.
RootsMagic will display a list of all the discussions for a person on the left. Just click a discussion and RootsMagic will display the discussion and any comments about that discussion.
Keep in mind that not every person in FamilySearch can have discussions (living individuals for example). If a person on FamilySearch is not allowed to have discussions, RootsMagic will indicate that and the "Start a New Discussion" button will be disabled.
- Starting a New Discussion - If you want to start a new discussion, just click the "Start a New Discussion" button on the page. You will need to enter a title for the discussion as well as a comment about it.
- Adding a Comment to a Discussion - You can comment on any discussion by clicking the "Add a comment" link underneath the discussion.
- Editing a Comment or Discussion - If you are the person that added a discussion or comment, you will see an "Edit" link which you can click to edit the discussion or comment.
- Deleting a Comment or Discussion - If you are the person that added a discussion or comment, you will see a "Delete" link which you can click to delete the discussion or comment. You will be asked to confirm this action.
