{{man note| Keybindings (Keyboard Shortcuts or Hotkeys) |In addition to interacting with Gramps through menu items and buttons, you can use its extensive set of "keybindings." For more information, see [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings|Appendix B: Keybindings reference]].}}
Now let us explore how you can enter and edit these various types of genealogical information.
== To add or edit a person ==
The [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Add|{{man menu|Add}} menu]] for each [[Gramps_Glossary#category|Category]] [[Gramps_Glossary#view|View]] includes the option to add a [[Gramps_Glossary#person|Person]]. A [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#Common_keybindings|keybinding]] for adding a Person is also supported in all categories views.
There are multiple ways to add a new person to your family tree. Many have an implied context which saves a step in grafting the Person into a Tree. (e.g., adding a Person from within the Family context of the Relationships or Charts views automatically inserts the new Person into the Family. You don't have to create the Person as a separate action, then subsequently find and drag the new Person into that Family.) We will cover some of the different workflows as we proceed.
# By Association

: <li> using the {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Associations|Associations]]}} tab of the {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Edit_Person_dialog|Edit Person]]}} dialog. Adding a Person and specifying the type of Association (godparent, coworker, pallbearer, childhood friend, etc.) identifies an interpersonal relationship. </li>: <li> using the {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Link_Editor|Link Editor]]}} feature of the {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#New_Note_editor_dialog|Edit Note]]}} dialog. Cross-referencing a person via a Person link in a Note will associate that linked person to the person where the note is attached.</li>

{{man note|1=Filtering|2=By default, Gramps filters the displayed list to show only those people who could theoretically have a relationship with the Active Person. That is, Gramps only shows those people whose birth dates and death dates fit within the lifetime of the Active Person. If you wish, you can add a person to the list by clicking the {{man button|+}} button. To completely override the filter and display all people from the family tree, check the '''Show all''' box.}}
{{man tip|To search a person on dialog selector|Remember that you can get an entry on the list by typing the first letter on your keyboard. (see [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Finding_records|Finding records]])}}
To edit an existing relationship from the {{icon|rela}}{{man label|Relationships}} View, click on the {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button next to corresponding Family entry. If there is more than one relationship in the list, you can select the spouse or partner you want by clicking the corresponding {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button next to the relationship.
== To specify parents ==
You can specify the Active Person's parents in the {{icon|rela}}{{man label|Relationships}} View (See {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Select_Family_selector|Select Family]]}} - selector). A little care is required to prevent the creation of {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Error_and_Warning_Reference#Duplicate_Family_warning_dialog|duplicate families]]}}. If you wish to add the Active Person to an already existing family, you should click the {{man button|Select}} button. If the family including the parents does not already exist, you should click the {{man button|+}} button.

{{man warn| {{man label|Duplicate Family}} Warning |If you create a new family and select parents that are already in an existing family, Gramps will issue the {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Error_and_Warning_Reference#Duplicate_Family_warning_dialog|Duplicate Family]]}} warning message. If you proceed by saving the new family, you will have a duplicate family.}}

[[File:ChildReferenceEditor-dialog-example-50.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Child reference editor]]
If you wish to change the parent/child relationship from the default setting of '''Birth''', from the {{man label|Edit Family}} dialog select the child and click on the {{man button|[[File:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}}. This will display the {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Child_Reference_Editor|Edit Child Reference]]}} dialog.

If you wish to change the order of the children in the family, use the arrows or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_and_drop ''drag and drop''] function on {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Family_Editor_dialog|Family Editor]]}}s {{man label|Children}} tab.

Gramps supports various types of media objects including photos, documents, audio files, and video files. The most common method for adding media is through the {{man label|Gallery}} tab of a primary object's editor (such as {{icon|peop}}People, {{icon|even}}Events, {{icon|fami}}Families, {{icon|plac}}Places, {{icon|cite}}Citations, {{icon|sour34}}Sources, or {{icon|repo}}Repositories).
Before adding any '''''new''''' Media Objects, you should be double-check the {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Family_Tree.27s_Media_path|Base Media Path]]}} in the {{man label|Family Tree}} tab of Preferences. While checking, confirm that you have used {{man menu|Add to Bookmarks}} context menu so that there is a button for that 'Base Media Path' in the [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#File_Chooser|File Chooser]].
Adding optional information can help categorize your media for easier searching later. Dates, titles, and [[Gramps_Glossary#tag|Tags]] can be added a media object.
#* click the {{man button|OK}} button.
# To [[Gramps_Glossary#sharing|share]] an existing media object, click the {{man button|{{icon|share}} Share}} button
#* Select an existing Media object from the [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Select_Media_Object_selector|Select Media Object]] dialog
#* double-click the object or click the {{man button|OK}} button.
# Add optional information
=== Using the Clipboard ===
[[File:Clipboard-dialog-example-context-menu-52.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Clipboard - dialog - Showing Context menu (right click) example]]
If adding more than a few objects, consider using the {{man menu|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Add_images_not_included_in_database|Add Images not included in database]]}} feature in the [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Media_Manager|'''Media Manager''']] from the {{Man menu|Tool ➡ Utilities}} menu. {{Man menu|View ➡ Configure...}} the {{icon|medi}}{{man label|Media}} category to show Last Changed, sort to the new items and copy them to the [[Gramps_Glossary#clipboard|Clipboard]].
The Clipboard allows quick drag'n'drop to Object Editor galleries. However, when adding a media object to multiple Galleries, sharing "Media ref" can be more efficient than rather than having a separate copy of the Media object reference. After dropping a Media Object in a Gallery, copy the Media object in the Gallery back to the clipboard. This creates a "Media ref" for that object. Then clear the original Media object from the clipboard.
