What problem does Add Select All People Link to Records solve?
On the Add new information to your tree page, Ancestry asks you to tick each person attached to the record one at a time before saving their details to your tree. For a record with a full household on it, that’s a long list of manual checks. Add Select All People Link to Records adds a single button that ticks every person on the page at once.
How does Add Select All People Link to Records work?
A new Select all people button is added to the top of the Add new information to your tree page, alongside the existing action buttons.
