{{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 [[Addon:Database_Differences_Report|Database Differences]] add-on addon report.)
Programmers call this a 'fork.' (As in: when travelers come to a 'fork in the road' and each chooses different paths.) But the bottom line is that you now have two tree variants derived from a common Tree and you want share your updated Tree. You can't just give the person a fresh copy of your Tree because then their changes would be overwritten.
