Too many copies

[Linda1710]

Hello. Well, this is my own fault. I installed MacBig Sur and then purchased Reunion 13 update. Before doing so, I created backup copies of my Reunion 12 tree and ones to save on a flash drive. Somehow in doing so I have created a mess. The good news is that nothing is lost. I have a copy of my Family File on my desktop and I can add or modify it. However, it does not show up in my Reunion files anywhere. When I open Reunion it shows my Family file backup 25 Sept 2021 13 which is current but it does not include the most recently added people. But, there is also one on my desktop which is the one I am using. How can I put the one on my desktop back into the Reunion files? The number of people in the one on my desktop is greater than the one in Reunion files. So, clearly, something is wrong. Thank you. I have been a Reunion user for 15+ years and this has never happened before. Linda

Hi Linda,

How can I put the one on my desktop back into the Reunion files?

Quit Reunion if it's open. Then open a Finder window (from the icon in your Dock that looks like a blue smiling face) and select:

Go -> Documents

from the main menu-bar at the top of the computer screen. In your Documents folder you should see the Reunion Files folder, open that. Then, drag the file from your Desktop into that Finder window to move it into your Reunion Files folder.

To delete family files, you can also drag any files you don't want from that same window to the Trash in your Dock.

HTH
