# Sources

Sources let you label where reviews come from—such as Google, Facebook, Yelp, or your own website—so you can categorize, filter, and display them more effectively. Each source has a name, color, and icon that appear when you show reviews in widgets or on your showcase.

### Where to Find Sources

Go to **Settings** in the sidebar, then click **Sources**. You'll see all your sources as tiles. If you have none yet, you'll see a notice inviting you to create your first source.

### Creating a Source

1. On the Sources settings page, click **Add** (or **Create Source** if you have no sources yet).
2. Enter a **Name** for the source (for example, Google, Facebook, Yelp, or Website).
3. Click **Create**.

Your new source appears in the list. The platform automatically generates a short identifier (slug) from the name. You can edit the source to change the name, slug, color, and icon.

### Editing a Source

1. Click a source tile to open the edit modal.
2. Change the **Name** or **Slug** as needed.
3. Pick a **Color** for the source badge.
4. Choose an **Icon**—either upload your own image or select from the preset icons.
5. Click **Save**.

The slug is used when filtering reviews on your website or in widgets. If you change it, any existing links or filters that use the old slug will need to be updated.
{% endhint %}

### Deleting a Source

1. Open the source by clicking its tile.
2. Click **Delete** in the modal.
3. Confirm the deletion.

Reviews that were assigned to that source will no longer show a source. The source is removed from your project.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleting a source is permanent. Reviews keep their content and ratings, but they will no longer be tagged with that source.
{% endhint %}

### Assigning Sources to Reviews

You can add or change the source on any review:

1. Go to **Reviews** and open a review.
2. In the **Details** section, use the **Source** field to select a source (or None).
3. Click **Save**.

### Filtering by Source

**Reviews** – Use the source dropdown in the Reviews toolbar to show only reviews from a specific source.

**Dashboard** – The recent reviews table shows the source for each review. Use the Reviews page filters for more options.

**Widgets** – When building a widget, use the **Sources** filter (under Filters) to show only reviews from certain sources. You can also choose whether to show the source badge on each review and where it appears (Layout > Source, Source Position).

**Showcase** – In Settings > Showcase > Filters, you can limit which reviews appear on your showcase by selecting one or more sources.

### Where Sources Appear

When you enable the source display in a widget or showcase, each review shows a small badge with the source name and icon—for example, a Google logo or a star. This helps visitors see where each review came from and adds credibility. You can place the source next to the avatar or in the footer of each review, depending on the widget type.

{% hint style="success" %}
Create sources before you start collecting reviews. If you use integrations like Facebook, the platform can automatically assign the correct source when reviews are synced.
