Why can’t I change the tree name?

Instructions on how to change a tree name in Family Tree Builder can be found here.

Note:

  • If the tree is currently opened, you cannot change its name.

  • If there is already a tree with the exact same name, you won’t be able to use the exact same name for another tree.

Instructions on how to change a tree name on the family site online can be found here.

Note:

  • The tree should have been synced at least once (more info about sync can be found here).

  • If the tree was originally created within Family Tree Builder (FTB), you have to change the tree name in FTB and then sync to the family site.
