I see.
Let us follow the simple thing:
Open up Family Tree Builder and on the main toolbar click on the 'Sync' button to synchronize your tree with your family site. You can also click on 'Sync

Customer Replay

Look Hanna. I have tried the sync thing before. What happened is that it overwrote all my good data in the site with the garbage data in the tree builder.

Customer Replay

I need an answer to how to move the good data in the site to overwrite the garbage data in the tree builder

I understand.
You may not be able to edit your tree online because the tree was created in an older version of Family Tree Builder software

Customer Replay

Ok do I need to upgrade the tree?

Of course. Please check if it is updated, if no, do it.
Do you need a help?

Customer Replay

Lets try to upgrade the family tree builder.

So nice!:)
Now, as of version 8.0, Family Tree Builder syncs the tree with your family site and vice versa.
To download Family Tree Builder 8.0, please click here: https://www.myheritage.ro/family-tree-builder. Sync your tree with the site, and you will be able to edit it online. Changes made online will appear on your FTB software after the next sync.

Customer Replay

I see I have version 8.0.0.8563

I see. Anyway, could you follow the link and try to update again?

Customer Replay

For some reason it keeps on jumping back. Message it could not complete the download. I will try your link. Give me a few minutes.

Of course!:)
Keep me updated.

Customer Replay

I have now removed the old version completely with all the garbage data and will download the one on the link.

Customer Replay

Thank you for helping me. I have removed the old version of family tree builder and installed the link you have sent to me. The new programme automatically retrieved the new data in my family site and both are now up to date! Your help is much appreciated.

I really glad to know, that it helped to you!:)
