Use context when adding relatives to Family Group Tree
I somehow overlooked adding my siblings and their descendants when I created a Family Group Tree. So, first of all, I wish I could re-enter that dialog where you pick people to include, with those already included showing with checkboxes already checked.
If we can't do that, then when I click "Add <child/spouse/father/mother>" from the Person page, and am given a chance to select someone from my private page to copy, I wish it would put the appropriate list of people at the top of list.
For example, when I click "add child" under my parents, then it should show a list of the persons in my private space who are children of those same parents. Currently, I have to search through the entire list of living people in my private space (which is a couple of hundred at least) in order to find each relative, even though there is a tiny list of ones that would actually make sense there. It would be far less work and much less error-prone if I was picking from a list of "corresponding relatives" instead of having to search the whole list.

@Randy Wilson Re-entering the dialogue is built into the program. Click on Person List in the top menu. At the top of that page, click Copy from FamilySearch Tree. In the pop-up click Select People. You will be able to click on people in your private list to add copies of their profiles to your Family Group Tree.
As for the second part, showing a list of close relative to the person you are adding to from your private list...hmm. We can send that to the product team, but without some sort of link between the person in your family group tree and the person in your private list, that might be more difficult. Currently, there is no linkage between the two.
As for searching through your private list, don't forget the search bar at the top of the pop-up:
