    Not sure where you are seeing the viewing only but here is a link to instructions for making changes to your tree. You must go to the person page for to make changes for that person.

    You can change anything, including relationships, that have the edit Icon (pencil). Just click the pencil icon and proceed. Hope this helps.

    How extensively did you build out your branches of this common, single, universal tree we are all working in together? Certain profiles are view only for various reasons. If you post the ID number of one of these pages you cannot edit, someone could probably explain the reason for that page being view only.

    can you share a screen shot - without showing any info for a living person?
