Improved website
I am new to this site but I have used it briefly in the past. After being away for more than a year, I come to my profile page, have clicked around but nowhere can I find my TREE or links to search, etc. How about including ways to get around to the features of the site. Now it is completely frustrating!

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
Regarding your "Pedigree" ...
[ As, we DO NOT have a "Tree", in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch" ... ]
[ We only have "Ancestral" Lines ... ]
Have you tried: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree
Plus ...
It may be worth reviewing the "Overview": https://www.familysearch.org/tree/overview
And ...
Some 'FamilySearch "Blog" Articles:
Get Started
https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/get-started
Join the FamilySearch Family Tree
https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/join-the-familysearch-family-tree
As an aside ...
Here an old 'standby' of mine, that I have previously proffered on occasion ...
------------------
Most new (and, some old) Users/Patrons, DO NOT, understand, the basic 'nature' and 'premise', of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', when they join in.
Please let me explain ...
[ And, please bear with me; as, I am VERY 'Verbose' ... that is my 'style' ... ]
We do not have our OWN "Tree", in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
We ONLY have "Branches" (ie. Ancestral" lines), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
The "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', is NOT like 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes (eg, the OLD, now no longer supported, "PAF"; or, "Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).
We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees', in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', like other 'On-Line' "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes.
We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/persons, in "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
And, most importantly ...
We DO NOT even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, Our OWN "Deceased" Ancestors/Family/Relatives, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
The "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any "Registered" User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
------------------
There are MANY features in BOTH, 'FamilySearch'; and, the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
And ...
'Yes', BOTH, 'FamilySearch'; and, the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch' are being CONTINOUSLY updated.
As such ...
Have you tried 'FamilySearch "Blog" [ https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/ ]:
What's New at FamilySearch
https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/tag/about-familysearch/whats-new-at-familysearch
Oh ...
Of course ...
"Help Centre" ...
https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/landing
There aforementioned, are only some, of the many articles available, about 'FamilySearch' ...
As you can 'see' ...
There is ALREADY a lot on "... ways to get around to the features of the site ..."
Good Luck.
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
