The Quickview provides a quick, concise display of information about a person, couple, source record, or surname. It appears in several places, including most lists, where it provides more detail about somebody in the list without actually navigating to a person's record. Similarly, when reviewing a list of source records, the Quickview will render more detail without opening the source record itself.

The Quickview window includes several items...
- A green Go button, for navigating to the person/couple/source.
- When the Quickview represents a person, the Person pop-up menu button appears along the right edge.
- Color tags applicable to the person will appear along the right edge.
- When the Quickview is showing a child (for example, when clicking a name in the list of "Other children"), the child status (if any) will appear.
- When the Quickview is showing a spouse (for example, when clicking a name in the list of "Other Spouses") marriage information will appear (date, place).
- For people or couples, the Quickview includes preferred pictures. Clicking a picture in the Quickview will open the media window for the person. For sources, the Quickview includes the first media item linked to the source. Clicking the image will open it in the Preview app.
- When the Quickview shows a couple, the marriage information and number of children are included.
- The Quickview windows have different colors corresponding to their content.
Where Does the Quickview Appear?
The Quickview appears in several places, including...
In sidebars and lists: when hovering the mouse over the names of people, you'll see a small round button with 3 dots at the right edge of the name line. Clicking this button will open the Quickview window.
- When the family view includes fields for "Other children" or "Other spouses" (under the buttons for the source couple), the people listed in those fields will be clickable. This makes it easy to navigate to spouses or children from another marriage or family. (More info about these two "other" fields is here.)
- When clicking "connections" in Note fields. (Connections is a feature described here.)
- While hovering the mouse cursor over a list of source records in the Sidebar or List window, or a citation in the Source Citations list in the Edit Person/Family windows, the Quickview button appears along the right edge of each line. Clicking the button will reveal a Quickview window with a source record.

- When clicking a surname in the Summary sidebar.
- When Shift-clicking a box in the Tree View or Find Relationship tree.
- In the Change Log.
Tip: Shift-click underlined names (of connections or names of "other spouses/children" in the family view) to bypass the Quickview window and go directly to the linked person.
