Key: EXISTING = existing help page; REPLACES = replaces one or more existing help pages; NEW = new help page
Advanced Features
section still needs work
Working with trees
- C: perhaps this should be in the GEDCOM menu (?)
- D: Trees are for more than GEDCOM's. I want to emphasize this because I did not understand this when I started using WeRelate, and I wish I had - hence the section in Help:Menu/Creating and editing pages on Creating a tree that will explain what it is useful for. This needs to be in the GEDCOM section as well (a link or whatever), so that it doesn't matter how you start interacting with WeRelate, you understand why you might want to use multiple trees. Checking your tree for errors and sharing a tree are 2 of the more useful functions. I'm not sure if they belong in Advanced Features, but I didn't see another good home for them.--DataAnalyst 18:19, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- Checking your tree for errors NEW
- D: I just replaced this with a link to Monitoring Data Quality (since the previous link had out-dated info) - but that topic is beyond Trees, and should have its own place in the menu. To think about later.--DataAnalyst 12:01, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sharing a tree, giving someone else a link so that they can watch all pages in a tree
