Sharing but not letting people edit the family tree

Question

I have non family people who asked to see it but I don't want them to edit. It would appear that once they get the invite they can edit. My concern is that a bad apple may do damage to the page.

Is there anyway to control it and just let people view it?

I will download the page just in case.

Thanks.

P.S. It turns out we have a few family people who don't want it up.

Answer 1

When sharing with people you don't want to be able to edit the tree, untick the box in the 'Share' menu saying: 'Allow X to edit family'. Once you give them permission you cannot retract it.

It is usually a good idea to back up your tree regularly just in case.

Hope this helps!
