TreeSync Improvements
- Private media items. If you have personal media items like birth certificates and photos of living family members that you don't want to include in your online tree, you can keep them private on an item-by-item basis when you sync (or export) your tree.
- Improved backup and restore. It's easier to keep your online and desktop trees synced if you encounter an issue; previously, if you had to use a backup file, your tree wouldn't sync anymore and you'd have to upload a new version. With this update, you can back up a synced tree and restore it if you have any problems.
- Synced Web links. If you've added Web links for individuals or URLs in source citations, these will now be included when you sync your tree.
- Printable sync log. Now you can print a list of all the changes that will be made to your online tree.
