What to use and What is the difference between beta.familysearch.org and www.familysearch.org
A year ago I started to add all my family information in the beta.familysearch.org.
Because of using Legacy 9.0 on my computer I noticed that there is a difference between www.familysearch.org and beta.familysearch.org.
They both have my account but none of my last year changes are in www.familysearch.org.
Could anyone tell me what I should use and if it is possible to have all my information from Beta.familysearch.org available in www.familysearch.org.
It was a lot of work :(.
Thanks if anyone can help me here.

beta.familysearch.org is where engineers try things out before launching them to the live website. All information there is temporary. It can be a good place to learn how to do things on FamilySearch without worrying about mistakes. Some folks use it when teaching because they can show how to make changes without using real data. Things you do on the beta site do not synchronize with the live website.
Bottom line: the beta site is great for learning and experimenting, but when you are ready to build your tree for real, you need to do it at the live site: https://www.familysearch.org.
You can learn a little more about the beta site from the Help Center article: How do I use the beta version of FamilySearch?
