In this blog, we have discussed all about the ‘Turn back time’ feature in Family Tree Maker 2019. This is a unique feature where you get to restore your tree quickly to the state it was in just before the original mistake was made without you even having to reserve all your actions one by one. Moreover, unlike the ‘Undo’ command in the ‘Edit’ menu, this works even if you close or reopen the tree for the time being. Now from time to time, you will be making changes in your tree which in reflection could turn out to have been a mistake at times. Hence that one mistake leads to a string of undesirable changes.
