Each summary has a foldable panel allows you to visualize or hide data so that you can customize your display and view useful data only.
The display you have chosen for the summaries will be saved by the application and will remain unchanged until you decide to modify it.

In the persons summaries, find the person’s media as well as the list of union events completed but also other events. If the person has multiple media in his/her identity area (profile photo), you can scroll through the media using the carousel tools. Use the arrows to change media.

If you have declared an person complete, the icon also appears in the abstract.
