What happens to someone left with no family after a fix?

You decide. If a fix leaves someone with nobody joined to them, we ask whether to delete them or send them to the Drawer to wait. Deleted people are kept safe for 60 days in the Drawer, and Put back returns them with all their family links. For example, if the wrong great-uncle was only ever a mix-up for the right one, you can delete him; if you think he belongs somewhere else, pop him in the Drawer until you find his place.

Where to find it

  • Drawer (third row of the top bar, far right) → Deleted – kept safe for 60 days → Put back

    Only people with the "Remove" tick.

On a phone: if the menu is tucked away, press ☰ Menu (top left) first.
