Hi David,

There is no particular order in which you have to make edits. The order in which these edits are described on our wiki is not indicative of any order in which they must be made. However, it may help you to understand the overall order of the recon-all processing stream so that you know which volumes to edit and how your edits will be incorporated. There is more information on this underneath each section on the Troubleshooting wiki, and an overview of the recon-all stream is located 1) here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/TroubleshootingDataV6.0... 2) In the slides titled 'Analyzing the Individual subject' on the FsTutorial wiki https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial and 3) on the recon-all tables: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReconAllTableStableV6.0.

Best, Emma

Hello FreeSurfer Group,

I am writing to inquire about Editing Sequence.

The "Troubleshooting your output" page (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/TroubleshootingData) explains the edits sequence as brain mask --> wm volume --> white surface --> control points.

Do you suggest people to absolutely stick to this particular sequence?

Thanks for your time,

David
