Drag-and-Drop Menu

The Drag-and-Drop menu can be used to copy entities across genealogies, or to merge entities within the same genealogy.

You access the Drag-and-Drop menu when you click and drag any entity and start moving it somewhere else.
On every location where you can access the Context Menu, you can drag-and-Drop the corresponding entity.

The Drag-and-Drop menu differs depending on whether

The context menu has a title and a list of action items.

The title is the name of the 'clicked' entity.

The list of action items depends on the entity you clicked on and the window it is in. That is why it is called a "context" menu. Each proposed action applies to the entity in its specific context.

The example above is the Context Menu when clicking on an individual Entity in the Dynamic tree view.

Only certain views offer a context menu.

They are as follows:

  • The Dynamic Tree, for individuals and families. The right click must be made on an individual box or a family box.
