I've been working on a notable unconnected profile and after loading numerous profiles, the "Get All Citations" button stopped appearing on FamilySearch. Tried multiple times. Then disconnected WikiTree Chrome extensions and reloaded still with no resolve.

FamilySearch? Or WikiTree?

Is this about WikiTree BEE's 'Get All Citations' button? If so, I've removed that because the functionality has been added to Sourcer and it's much better.

Yes. It was working for the previous 15 profiles I added and then it disappeared. I’ll try and find it in Sourcer. Thank you.
I can't seem to find it. Is it called something else?
Disregard. I think I figured it out. Thank you!
This is another example that people using the extensions don't remember, or may not know, when something changes on their use of wikitree, whether it is the wikitree code, one extension, another extension, or a combination of the extensions.

Remember that all of the extensions are optional for someone to use.  Just because someone has one extension doesn't mean that they have the other extension.

There is a lot of assuming that everyone is using all the extensions that our 'great' developers have created.  Many people won't use or don't know about the extensions, and others can't use extensions because they use Apple devices and prefer to use Chrome, not Safari, for browsers. Some projects discourage the use of extensions, especially while new users are going through the Trails process so they learn about Wikitree, how to find and use Help Pages, and Sourcing requirements and how to create proper source citations.
I’m glad I figured it out now instead of during the upcoming Connect a Thon.

The documentation on the Sourcer "Build All Citations" for Family Search is here.

You can set the options so that when you use Sourcer to add a Profile from FamilySearch it automatically builds all the citations as part of the Save Person Data/Fill Fields... flow.

Thank you, Rob. The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is how to get Sourcer to build the census tables.
Did you look at the household tables tab?

Yes, if you set the "Automatically add household table in census citations:" option on the Household Tables tab it should include them when you do "Build All Citations".

Thank you!! The video shows a different step. I know the video is outdated. But that is the only one I found.
