Keep it safe

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

Procedure

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

   A small sheet opens. It asks how to save your tree.

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 your tree as a family tree file, without pictures. Use it only for a program that cannot read GEDZIP. If asked which version, choose GEDCOM 7 unless that program is old.
4. In the Files screen, choose where to put the file, then choose Save.

Results

You now have a copy. Make a new one after you add a lot. Keep one off your device too.

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