This document explains how to change the library matched to source files in your inventory, and optionally add a comment to this action.
Source File Mapping
WhiteSource clusters source files into a single library, which represents an open-source project in GitHub, SourceForge or one of the hosts as listed in the "Supported Hosts" section. Our index contains source files and the open-source projects they can be found in. Occasionally, there may be different results than what you expect since many projects use the same set of files. This can be easily modified, meaning you can manually change the library that you view in your dashboard.
