What is the 'source' column used for?

There are many ways to add items to Neat, the source column helps you keep track of where each of your items was added from. The source column can only be viewed from the grid view and cannot be edited. The source column is a newer Neat feature that was added on 9/6/2019, therefore only items added to Neat after 9/6/2019 will have a source listed. All items added before 9/6/2019 will have a blank value for source.
