3. Select and Edit Relations
The outcome will be a list of relationship instances fitting your criteria. You will have the option to select one or more relationships to edit. Alternatively, you may use the feature “Select all” to edit several at a time. This feature will make it easier for you to edit a large family tree.
4. Modify the Relationship Type
Change the relationship type using the dropdown list. This might be nothing more than selecting “Spouse” instead of “Partner”, for example. Once you select the new type, click “Apply”. Depending on the number of changes, this may take a few minutes, and a progress bar will show the status.
5. Final Review and Save
When you have applied all the changes you need, the modified relationships will disappear from the list, which would prove that they indeed had changed. You may then see the result of the modifications in the graph by reapplying the correct filter. Once you are satisfied with the results of the modifications, click “Close”.
