How to source Yearbooks found on Ancestry?

Question

Hello All,

I am new to WikiTree and trying to learn how to do things properly, particularly with sources, with the profiles close to me before I branch out.  Could you please give some guidance for how to source Yearbooks found on Ancestry in the Biography?  My Mother's high school yearbooks are all available and give proof of her graduation date, as well as many adorable pictures and information.  

Thanks for your help!

Hi, I hope this helps some. I tried to find how to cite yearbooks from Ancestry itself , but couldn't find any information but found the followin.

I agree with Toni.  When you're editing a post you'll see a link to source examples.  You can't go wrong if you write up the yearbook as a book source and then reference that you found it at Ancestry with the URL.

Thank you Toni for the tip!  And appreciate SJ's confirmation. I have updated the source based on that link and it now looks like this:
