⚠️ Remember to export your HoloGraph before resetting it.
Import a .hgs or .myth file
Importing a file will overwrite the current HoloGraph data. Import anyway?
HoloGraph Statistics
Overview of currently loaded data.
Statistics cover information currently accessible in this copy.
Options
Local PIN lock
No PIN is set.
The PIN mainly prevents accidental changes. It does not encrypt the file contents.
Recovery email
No verified recovery email is configured.
The address is verified by email and is not stored in clear text in the sandbox or its exports.
Danger zone
If the PIN is lost and no recovery is possible, you can permanently erase this sandbox after an additional confirmation.
Export protected sandbox
You can keep the lock in the exported file or export a copy without a lock. The current sandbox will not be changed.

Manage my tree
My tree
Its name and settings belong to your personal working copy.
Other collaborators can use a different name for the same shared tree.
These devices synchronize your draft. Removing an access does not erase its local copy or revoke a recovery code already held by that device.
Similar entries were created independently. Choose whether to keep them separate or combine them. Combining keeps the selected entry’s values and fills its missing information.
Files
These actions stay on your device and never publish automatically.
It may contain information and portraits of living people. Check your choices first. A PIN protects editing but does not encrypt the .hgs file.
Share
Let someone explore a fixed version of your tree without changing it.
Share a visit
Share a fixed copy of the published tree. Your personal draft, collaborators, private discussions and future changes are excluded. This link does not invite someone to collaborate.
Anyone holding the link can see this copy and its portraits until it expires or you cancel it. Check whether living people should be shown. Cancelling access cannot erase information already received.
Choose a person in the published tree. Visitors will begin their exploration from this person.
Send the link yourself. No message is sent automatically.
Only the person who created a link can cancel it. Cancel your links before leaving the collaboration; otherwise they expire at the chosen time.
Active links
HoloGraph Studio sends no file and publishes nothing until you explicitly choose an action.
Merge two trees
Both source files and the current browser tree stay unchanged. You decide every identity match and contested link before downloading a new tree.
Compare people
Compare their relatives and portraits, then choose. The confidence percentage helps order suggestions; it is not proof of identity.
Add a match that was not suggested
Family links in the result
The same link in both trees is combined. A link present in only one tree is kept by default and can be removed below. Only conflicting parents, partners or details of the same link require a decision.
Decisions needed
These links are kept automatically. Remove one only if it is incorrect; this does not remove either person.

Transmit a file
Your work stays in this browser by default. A file is shared only when you choose to export it. If you create a private collaboration link, an encrypted copy is stored online; its key stays in participants’ browsers.
Transmit a tree file
This file contains the current tree and its portraits, without contributor profiles, discussions or collaboration history. It may include living people. Check your choices before transmitting it. A PIN protects editing but does not encrypt the file.
Optional. Without a selection, no starting person is specified.
You choose how to send this file. HoloGraph Studio sends nothing automatically.

Collaboration
Work with your family around the same tree.
You’re working on your own for now
Invite someone close to you when you’re ready to build this tree together.
Before your first publication
A published contribution may remain in the tree, be enriched and passed on even if you later leave the project. Collaboration is based on mutual trust: by publishing, each participant commits to acting in good faith and to sharing documented facts and personal declarations they consider reliable.
Who are you in this collaboration?
So everyone can see who contributed which information, your contributions will be associated with the name or pseudonym you choose.
You can also indicate who you are in the family tree. This is optional, but helps other collaborators place you and makes discussions easier.
Start or recover a project
Add a first person, then choose your starting person to invite someone.
Nothing is uploaded until you choose one of these actions.
Keep it private. It gives access to your synchronized personal draft.
Invite someone
Each invitation can only be used once.
Ideally, invite someone who is in the tree!
My contributions
Review your local changes before publishing them.
Decisions
Participants
My participation
Manage your access, notifications and presence in this project.
How I appear
Choose a name or pseudonym that other collaborators will see. A real name is not required; identifying yourself in the tree remains optional.
One active participant can be associated with a person at a time.
Declared participants
Keep access to this collaboration
Save your personal key now. It restores your participation and the published tree after local data loss, without creating a global account or synchronizing a private draft.
Recommended, optional: register a recovery address to request a link by email if you lose your key.
Recover my participationAdd a device
Create a personal code to recover this same access elsewhere. Your personal code stays the same until you explicitly replace your key.
Keep it private: anyone who has it can recover your access.
Receive future updates
Optional. You will confirm the subscription by email and can unsubscribe from any message.
Leave this collaboration
Leaving removes your active identity and follow-up details and anonymizes your attribution. It does not remove published genealogical information or roll back the shared tree. Cancel your visit links before leaving if needed.
Project management
Deleting the online project removes its encrypted online contributions. Local .hgs files remain available.
Other people have contributed to this project. It can no longer be deleted by one person.
