You can choose the Confidence level from the {{man label|Confidence}} drop-down menu. The remaining details can be typed in the corresponding text entry fields.
+This allows either an existing source or an existing citation (along with its associated source) to be selected. Click on the disclosure triangle alongside a source to see the citations associated with that source. For example, if one of your sources were a book, then the citations would normally refer to a page (or pages) within the book. If you already have a citation that refer to the particular page of the book, then you could select that citation which would then be shared. On the other hand, if this object needs to refer to a new page, then you would select the source and in the subsequent dialog enter the new page.

 #{{man label|Volume/Film/Page}}: Specific location with in the information referenced. For a published work, this could include the volume of a multi-volume work and the page number(s).

For an unpublished source, this could be a sheet number, page number, frame number, etc. A census record might have a line number or dwelling and family numbers in addition to the page number.
 #{{man label|Confidence}}: Conveys the submitter's quantitative evaluation of the credibility of a piece of information, based upon its supporting evidence. It is not intended to eliminate the receiver's need to evaluate the evidence for themselves.
