Can I make an identical copy of an existing tree? With identical I mean with all the photos

Question

Our tree now has over 200 members and some people would like to edit their ow branches. We would like to make copies of the original so people can customize their bits. Thanks

Answer 1

There's no way to do that. You can download your GEDCOM file, and then upload it as a new tree, but there's no standard for supporting photos in a GEDCOM file. But there are plans to add that to the standard.

You can let them edit the tree, but if you do that, you'll want to download your GEDCOM file anyway, so that you hav a backup.
