Someone is changing details in my tree!
My GG grandmother has been changed, the replacement is completely wrong. What is the procedure to put it back to the original? Should I contact the person who has made the changes and ask for their proof if any or just change it back?

Provided there are, SOURCES attached; and/or, REASON STATEMENTS with details; as, supporting EVIDENCE/PROOF ...

Short Answers:
(1) Just Change/Restore the previous "Details" that you know are correct.
.... [ Ensure there are, SOURCES attached; or, REASON STATEMENTS with details ]
(2) After your Changes/Restoration ... You can "Contact" the User/Patron.
.... [ Advising WHY you changed/restored the previous "Details" ]

You are not alone.

And ...
Furthermore ...
.
Most new (and, some old) Users/Patrons DO NOT understand the basic nature and premise of "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', when they join in.
.
Please let me explain ...
.
We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
We ONLY have "Branches" (ie. Ancestral" lines), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is NOT like 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes (eg, the OLD, now no longer supported, "PAF"; or, "Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).
.
We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' like other 'On-Line' "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes.
.
We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any registered User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.
I hope this helps.
