- Family Tree Maker is already an amazing program with many underused features.
- Connect! A completely new workspace and new Relative Hint™ feature that make it easier than ever to share your tree and collaborate with your family.
- Easy on the Eyes™: a revolutionary way of enlarging parts of the screen right when you need it. An answer and relief for those of us with tired old eyes.
- Hyphenated dual surnames support following the Hispanic tradition.
- Improved support for managing and reporting relationships.
- Tools for cleaning up orphaned items (media, sources, and citations).
- And more…
Session 2: A Deep Dive with Family Tree Maker Connect and AlbumWALK
- New improvements to Family Tree Maker Connect, and using Family Tree Maker Connect for yourself.
- Sharing your tree with family and receiving new Relative Hints.
- Introducing AlbumWALK® — Making your photos talk — literally.
