<_tip number="2"><b>Editing Objects</b><br/>In most cases double clicking on a name, source, place or media entry will bring up a window to allow you to edit the object. Note that the result can be dependent on context. For example, in the Family View clicking on a parent or child will bring up the Relationship Editor.</_tip>
<_tip number="3"><b>Adding Images</b><br/>An image can be added to any gallery or the Media View by dragging and dropping it from a file manager or a web browser. Actually you can add any type of file like this, useful for scans of death certificates and other sources.</_tip>

<_tip number="4"><b>Ordering Children in a Family</b><br/>The birth order of children in a family can be set by using drag and drop. This order is preserved even when they do not have birth dates.</_tip>
<_tip number="5"><b>Talk to Relatives Before It Is Too Late</b><br/> Your oldest relatives can be your most important source of information. They usually know things about the family that haven't been written down. They might tell you nuggets about people that may one day lead to a new avenue of research. At the very least, you will get to hear some great stories. Don't forget to record the conversations!</_tip>

<_tip number="7"><b>Filtering People</b><br/>In the People View, you can 'filter' individuals based on many criteria. To define a new filter go to &quot;Edit &gt; Person Filter Editor&quot;. There you can name your filter and add and combine rules using the many preset rules. For example, you can define a filter to find all adopted people in the family tree. People without a birth date mentioned can also be filtered. To get the results save your filter and select it at the bottom of the Filter Sidebar, then click Apply. If the Filter Sidebar is not visible, select <b>View &gt; Filter</b>.</_tip>
