Basic Concept: To get something out of FTM is different than many other software programs. For Example, saving a report or chart actually just saves them in the FTM program, so you can run them again. We use the Share and/or Print icons (upper right) to actually make a output file, send to someone or print to paper. Check out each option available on both Icons they change depending on where you are in the program.

To make a copy of the Tree, we do not Save or Copy, we use either Export or Backup. Export is best used to share the output with someone else and Backup is best to save a restorable copy for yourself or to move the data to a new computer.

More can be learned about each operation by studying the Guides in this group or the FTM Help File.
