Editing an Entity

When you edit an entity, Forensic Notes will create a new note to document the changes you made.

Example: If you look at the following edited entity, you can see that the author of the note was not aware of the scar on Edward's right arm until later in the day at 1719 hrs.

Updated Person Entity

Only Owner Can Edit: Documenting how and when information is obtained about a person is essential to ensure full disclosure. For this reason, only the owner of an Entity can make changes to the original record in the notebook where it was created.
