Every guide below is illustrated with real screens from Salasilah and takes you click by click, in order, from start to finish.

TopicStep-by-step guides
Building your tree Adding people — Add Person, the buttons on a card, and the Add family launcher.
Editing a person — the person panel: everyday fields, photos, Advanced, and finishing safely.
Family relationships — parent slots, adding a spouse or child, moving parents, and unlinking.
Collaboration Collaborating by file — export a branch as a file, they build in their own copy, and you merge their work back in.
Collaboration step-by-step — the shared-link route: hand a branch over, watch progress, merge, and undo.
Dashboard Navigating the dashboard — every button on My Family Trees: the top bar, search and sort, and each control on a tree card.
Invite How to invite a friend — copy the one invite link from your dashboard and send it.
What to do when you receive an invite — from opening the link to your own tree on screen. Safe to send to the person you invited.
Sharing Choosing how to share — the two decisions behind every share: how much of the tree goes out, and who can open it.
Sharing step-by-step — the whole flow: create a link, what your relative sees, live access, and taking any of it back.
Tree view Getting around a tree — moving the view, the subject and the focus, and finding one person among hundreds.
Choosing who you see — the generations window, the Show toggles, Everyone, and how the tree looks.
Tools and output — Repair, Export, Share, Faraid, and reporting a problem.
