You can {{man button|Archive}} your family trees with Gramps to retain a copy before any major changes and be able to return to a known version.
To make an archive :
# load your Family Tree.
# click on the Toolbar {{icon|ance}}{{man button|Family Trees}} button (it displays {{man label|Connect to a recent database}} when you hover over it).
# click on the family tree you have just loaded: the {{man button|Archive}} button should appear.
# click on {{man button|Archive}} and you will be able to enter in the {{man label|Revision comment}} dialog a ''Version description'' for your archive.
After archiving, the list of family trees will now show your original family tree with a right-pointing triangle on its left.
* Click on the triangle to display the archive name.(Click again to collapse the archive list).
Archives can be {{man button|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Removing_a_Family_Tree_Archive|Deleted]]}}, {{man button|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Renaming_a_Family_Tree|Rename]]}}(d) and {{man button|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Extracting_a_Family_Tree_Archive|Extract]]}}(ed).
