Import a Heredis file in an existing file

Importing Heredis data to an existing file allows you to connect a new branch created in a separate file by yourself or by a family mem­ber.

1. Choose File > Import > Heredis File.

Note: A message will alert you that it is irreversible, so please make sure to make a copy of your file in case the result doesn’t please you.

2. Select the Heredis file. Only files created with the same version of Heredis may be merged (Mac file or Windows folder with the extension .hmw).
3. Click Open. Choose if you want to import or not medias and sources. (Windows) Click on Next. (Mac) Click on Import.

4. If you desire to associate a common source of data from the import, tick the box Assign a new source to and select in the list where you want this source to be assigned. Fill up the fields of this new source. You will be able to modify it on your Sources index later. After importing the new data, you must create links that will connect the imported persons to those already present in the main file.
