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 List View. 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 work area for more information.
