What do you want to do?
Understand how you can use color with sources
You can keep track of significant sources by giving them a color.
You can assign a color to a source to visually distinguish it in models and in visualizations such as charts and cluster analysis diagrams. For example, interviews about forests could be shown in green, and interviews about rivers could be shown in blue.
You can sort your sources in List View based on color—refer to Customize the workspace for more information.
You can also use Advanced Find to find sources of a specific color.
