New Person Page In Family Tree
I see the person page in Family Tree BETA has a new link on it:
That line of the screen also has a link to this help center article: Testing the new person page in Family Tree
The link brings you here:
Style changes come and go and will change again so I doubt feedback will have any affect on the overall new style of the page which matches all the other recent updated pages so I don't have much to say about that. I have submitted a few things through the feedback link on the page which will go directly to the right group.
There are a lot of good things here that have been requested for a long time on these boards, the most prominent one being that all editing boxes can now be moved around so you can get them out of the way of what you are looking at on the page. I also like the compressed view of the Vital information which makes use of all that white spaces that has been complained about so often. The Search Records section is no longer a jumbled confusion of site logos, which is nice. Changing the edit relationship from the paper and pencil icon that it seemed no one every saw or understood to the currently standard More icon should help people edit relationships easier. Another change that has been requested for years is to hide editing of information a step back so that less experienced users won't make accidental changes. This was done by making it so that when you click on a piece of a data, the first box that opens shows more information but then you have to specifically click on Edit to actually edit anything. A final note here, having the notes section be a side panel that can be opened and closed rather than a different tab looks very helpful.
Now is certainly the time to poke around and give feedback on this beta version of what is coming.

At the top of the new person page, it says "Thank you for testing the new person page in Family Tree. It's still a work in progress, so you may experience bugs. Please use the Feedback button for questions and comments." There is a link called "learn more." That link takes me to an article called "Testing the new person page in Family Tree."
In the article it says Questions, bugs, and comments - 1.Click the Feedback, which is located along the right side of the page.
The problem is that I do not see a Feedback link on the right side of the page. However, I can see one in the screenshot above.
Clicking on the link at the bottom of the page brings me to the Community.
My questions is - Where do the engineers want comments and suggestions about the new person page?

@CathyAH, Where I circled the Feedback link, you don't have anything? You do have to be towards the top of the page to see it. Try reloading the page a few times. Since it is just the beta version, things are going to be a bit unstable with things coming and going, working and not working, as the programmers tinker with it.

@Gordon Collett I don't see the feedback link towards the top of the page. I've tried 3 different browsers and cleared history and cookies.

Can't tell you why you are not getting the Feedback link. Hope it shows up for you soon. You could always start a post here to give feedback on.
