🌳 Upgrades to Family Tree UX
- Goodbye side panels, hello unified profiles! With our newly streamlined interface, it’s now easier to edit and review relatives on desktop. Simply click on a person’s profile photo to pop open quick actions to add new information, view tagged photos, and review Record Matches.
- Quick add relatives. With our new interface, it’s easier to add a new relationship to a person in your tree. Just click on their profile photo, then select the plus sign (+) to add a parent, spouse, sibling, or child.
- Edit and remove relationships. Entered wrong information by mistake? Open the person’s profile and go to the Family tab. You can now use the 3-dot settings to revise any of their relationships.
- Zoom and pan photos. Now you can examine large images in closer detail on mobile and desktop!
- Compare information of existing and new relatives side-by-side. When reviewing Record Matches from RecordFinder™ that suggest new relatives to add to your tree, you can now view the details of existing relatives in your tree for reference.
- Various bug fixes and performance optimizations including an issue where the same record would be recommended to multiple siblings in a tree.
