I am adding children to a family.  As I am working on them, it appears a profile is being created instead of a draft.  Duplication is imminent!  What is happening?  -NGP

Hi Nanette,

The Draft function only works on an existing profile. It will not allow you to create a placeholder of information before a profile is created.

Dear Steven,

   Okay.  Why is the profile I am creating now showing up on my possible list of duplicate profiles?  And it is mine;  I have been checking.  Very weird. -NGP

Was created in July 2022 by you and is currently an orphan.

It appears that you are creating a duplicate. which is why it shows up on the list of possible duplicates.

Thanks, M,

    I think it happened with sister Eva, also.  Anyway, I'll just merge any duplicates I find.  Something looked very strange while I was working on it, so I stayed away for an hour!

   By now either my head or my computer is straightened out. Thanks for your support.  -NGP
