→Purpose of this tool
Make no mistake, merging is '''''hard'''''! And this tool is not magic, it does not make the process simple but it ''is'' easier than the alternatives.
{{man note|Important Note|This tool this requires that the Family Tree being merged must be a Gramps Family Tree ''derived from a version'' of the currently loaded Family Tree.}}
A situation occurs occasionally after giving someone a copy of your tree in our native [[Gramps XML]] format. Then each person makes changes to the copy in their possession using Gramps locally. (You can verify the Trees differ and log those revisions with the [[Database_Differences_Report|Database Differences]] add-on report.)
