complicated process to load tree and hints

ann newby said: find the tree process very complicated and 'messy' with all the boxes - then there are more boxes when you add info or people from hints etc; then you have to get rid of them to go back to tree - far from the best methods I have seen.

There are several ways to access the massive tree and its features. The PC Web version differs considerably from the mobile versions (iOS and Android), so it is helpful to know what version you are attempting to use.

If you are using a mobile vesion, I find those to be very clunky and hard to use because of the small screen (even on my iPad) and the inability to have multiple tabs open (unless I use Safari on the iPad).

With the PC version, one almost always has the ability to open a process in its own tab or window, thus avoiding the "go back" problems that sometimes creep into the process.
