Each of these actions is described below.

When the action has its own description page - it is bold - click on it to get all the details about it.

Certain menu actions only apply to the selected genealogy and will therefore only be available if one is open. Otherwise they will be greyed out. To enable them, open a genealogy.

Web Book

Generates a genealogy  under the form of multiple web pages, locally or on a remote server.

Web Site

Generates simple web site pages.

Print current view

Prints the selected view. A preview window will open.

Most views including the Dynamic Tree view, the Report Output windows and the Editors can be printed.

If the content to be printed is wider than a single page, printing can be done in multi-pages, that is to say that the image is cut out on several juxtaposable pages.
This is very convenient when printing the Dynamic Tree or the Ascendant and Descendant Multi-Generation Tree in order to post it on a wall.
