What happens with items added to Family Group Tree?
I have a Family Group Tree. I am encouraging family members to add pictures and information to it. My question is: do I need to add this information to the Family Tree also or can these two trees be synced?

Currently you cannot sync from a Family Group Tree back to the FamilySearch Tree. You can copy and re-copy new information from the FamilySearch Tree into your Family Group Trees. We are working on this but do not yet have a completion date.

Note that only the living people you see when you are working on your Family Group Tree are distinct from the living people you see on your personal FamilySearch Tree. All the deceased people are common to both trees, so no syncing is needed for any deceased people.

When tagging people in photos & memories, Family Tree already lets you associate multiple "records" with the same facial tag. This is great for including the memory on the different copy of the same person from multiple family group trees.
I personally love how it even shows which family group each record is from! If I wanted to only connect the photo to some family groups, this would allow me to do that.

I guess you are working on syncing family tree and family group trees. One interesting thing is relationships. I clicked on me and my relationship to my father. I set me in my private tree as a son of my father, who is deceased. This relationship is unknown in both my private tree and family group tree. If I set the family group tree relationship to be biological, then I show up as a relationship of son/father. However this doesn't sync with the private tree. I have to change this relationship for both private and family group trees. This is really cumbersome as I had set all the son's and daughters, grandsons/granddaughters etc and none of them have a relationship to their parents. How can you fix this?

@Russell Chang Yes we have noted that the relationship calculator has been having some issues. I will send y our occurrence to the product team working on this. They may reach out to you for specifics.
