    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Provided, that your are referring to, an individual/person, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch' ...

    Under "Find" on the SECOND Line Menu, when you are in "Family Tree" ...

    Discover Your Deceased Ancestors

    Find by ID

    https://www.familysearch.org/tree/find/id

    Whereas ...

    IF, such relates to either, an individual/person, in the "Generalogies" Part, of 'FamilySearch'; or, a Record, in the "Search" (Records); THEN, that is another matter.

    I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

    Is it a record or a person? Each person in the Familysearch tree has a 7-digit PID to identify that individual.

    To find a person by the PID, https://www.familysearch.org/tree/find/id

    If it is actually an index record's identifier, the easiest is to simply plug it in at the end of the URL: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:xxxx-xxx

    If it's a profile ID, there are multiple ways; if I'm already on someone's profile, I find it easiest to just replace the ID at the end of the URL, but if I'm in a tree view, then I use the box at the top of the Recents menu.
