# Reviewing Story Intelligence Characters

Read the scene context and suggested existing match before deciding. Two names may refer to the same person, but similar names alone are not enough to link them. Resolving identities first makes the later relationship and knowledge reviews more reliable.

Create a character for a distinct person, use Same character as for an existing identity, or ignore unsupported suggestions. Save the displayed decisions before navigating away. Bulk choices affect the displayed cards and should be checked before saving.

# Understanding the Fields

See [review decisions and fields](/Help/Article/storyIntelligence.characters.decisions) for the choices on each card.
