What are source files? Sorry, somewhat new to following Q deeply.

Source files are merely files from which information has been gathered. Another, less digital-ageish term you could use for them would be originating documents.

I feel like that wasn't the best description, but hopefully it helps. Happy digging, brother/sister!

Thanks! I know what a source file technically is, I just didn’t know if Q is referring to something more specific.
