I appreciate the amount of material that is placed on FamilySearch. I also realize that those of us who use FamilySearch are non-paying customers.
However...
It is difficult to know when a dataset is updated, what materials have been added and what materials have been a part of the dataset for some time.
This is especially true in a set of materials such as the declarations of intention for Hamilton County, Ohio. When the FamilySearch site indicates that the county materials from Hamilton County, Ohio have been updated, I have no way of knowing if they've added any information to the declarations of intention or not.
And while all of us should keep meticulous research logs, I doubt if most researchers do that.
Is there someway, other than manually tracking ourselves, for users to determine what material has actually been added other than just to say a dataset has been "updated?"
And while we are at it, titles that are a little more precise would be nice too. There are some films that contain information that is not suggested in the title.
