Following icon in decendancy tree view

I generally follow only the head profile of a tree fragment, and once the parents are attached I unfollow. It would be a great help to me if the descendancy tree viewer would show which profiles I am following.

Please add that feature as an option here:

    Just a Suggestion for icon:

    FamilySearch could use the following 'star' icon.

    Would something like this suffice?

    The only other option I see - which obviously is not in the Descendancy view but which might help you sort those - is in the Following> Labels feature. You could label all the fragments with a 'tree fragment' label.

    Of course then if FamilySearch accepts your suggested Idea - the ability to link to Descendancy view could be added.

    I would prefer the icon in a column on the right, with the other icons. That makes it easier to scroll through a large tree to evaluate which profiles are or are not being followed

    I am not suggesting the Following icon be red on white, just suggesting where to put them.

    Alas, there are too many tree fragments to make that a useful label for me.
