You can get to the source detail or the individual citation from the individual's edit person window.

I am trying to attach media to the source while making the citations. It appears this is possible by selecting Source and Detail in the Edit Source window that comes up through the citation manager but it is not working.

Anything you attach while making or editing a citation is attached only to the citation, not the source itself.
(If you can see the green area, the media will be attached to the citation, if you can only see the yellow area then it is attached(tagged) to the source itself.)

I am assuming, although have not tried it in RM6, but pdf files do not work. I have changed them to .jpg so they do show up in RM.
In case someone misunderstands, PDF files can be tagged as media by linking them as Files, not Images, as can text, rtf, and other file formats. Doube clicking on the thumbnail will open up the file with the appropriate program for that file type, Acrobat reader, a word processor, etc.
The thumbnail shows an icon for that file type, not an actual thumbnail of the contents of the file.
There are some limitations with lnking media by using Files. Those files will not print as a photo in reports or in a Scrapbook, so some users turn PDF files into .jpg files.
