Here's a video that shows how it works; you probably need to watch just a few minutes at the start to see how to get in. https://youtu.be/_4AMVD9hsCg
Even easier, there's a browser plug-in that I'm really enjoying, called Sourcer. It will automate finding sources and pasting them in. It can even “write” the biography based on the sources; all you do is copy and paste. See the video at: https://youtu.be/_JssleDA5GQ and the text at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:WikiTree_Sourcer. This last one, Sourcer, has been a real game-changer for me. I hope you will try it.
