Yellow highlight - Whether you selected someone from your tree or searched for someone new, that person will be highlighted in yellow when viewing his or her record in the Interactive Image Viewer.
Green highlight - If the person that is highlighted in yellow is in a household that has any other members, they will all be highlighted in green.
Orange highlight - An orange highlight will be placed on any row that is not already highlighted in green or yellow when your mouse hovers over that row.
Informative Tips
Hover over each cell to see a transcription and learn more about each fact in the record, where available.
Name Label Overlay
When zoomed in on the image, a transcription of the name from each row on the image will appear on the left side of the viewer once you have panned beyond the image's name column. This will allow you to view any part of the image without losing track of which name was on each row.
