Keep it safe

Save a copy of your tree as a file, and keep it somewhere else too.

Procedure

  1. Choose the Workspaces tab.
  2. On the card for your tree, choose Save as….

    A small box named Save workspace as opens.

  3. Choose how to save your tree.
    • GEDZIP archive (.gdz) — includes media saves everything in one file, with its pictures. Choose this one.
    • GEDCOM file (.ged) saves the tree and its research notes as a family tree file, without pictures. Choose it only for a program that cannot read a GEDZIP file. If asked which version, choose GEDCOM 7 unless that program is old.
  4. When Android asks where to put the file, choose a place you will remember, such as Downloads. Then choose Save.

Results

You now have a copy. Make a new one after you add a lot. To email it, find it in the Files app. Keep a copy off your phone too.

If you opened a file from another program, uFTi keeps its own copy. The file you chose does not change.
