Please use Auto Bio responsibly

Question

Just a reminder: The WBE Auto Bio is not perfect. I'm improving it all the time with many people's help, but it's far from perfect.  Bearing that in mind, please check the results before saving your edits. Saving edits with mistakes causes problems for the kind volunteers who will come and fix the mistakes later.  If you see something strange, please let me know.  Many people do (thank you all), and I try my best to fix the problems.
Thanks.

Answer 1

I go through with a fine tooth comb every time to ensure accuracy. One thing I would love is if it would keep tables if the sources were brought over that way. I don't know if that is possible, but I like tables for census records and bring them over with Sourcer. But then when I click Auto Bio, it chooses to just use copy about what is on the record with the source attached - so I have to then go back and re-add the tables. Don't know if that is possible, but thought I would ask.

Answer 2

An easy work around for a profile which has content that you want to make sure to preserve is to move those pieces of the profile into a research notes section which the tool will preserve as-is.  Run the autobio, and then move the content back out of the research notes as needed.  You can also run the autobio and then copy the content from the old biography, but the benefit of putting them in the research notes section is that it's harder to accidentally delete anything.
