What problem does Automatically Expand All ThruLines solve?
When exploring ThruLines on Ancestry, opening one section often causes others to collapse automatically when an arbitrary limit is reached, making it difficult to view all potential connections on a single page. Automatically Expand All ThruLines solves this issue by automatically keeping all ThruLines expanded, and expanding them by default, allowing you to review and analyze multiple connections simultaneously.
How does Automatically Expand All ThruLines work?
With Automatically Expand All ThruLines, all pedigree links in ThruLines are expanded by default, and the limit of how many you can have open at one time is removed. This allows for a complete view of all potential connections without sections automatically closing and is especially useful for taking screenshots or performing detailed analyses of all connections in your ThruLines without interruption.
How do I use Automatically Expand All ThruLines?
- Ensure Automatically Expand All ThruLines is enabled in the Genealogy Assistant pop-up panel.
- Navigate to the ThruLines for an ancestor on Ancestry.
- All pedigree lines will be automatically opened and there is no limit on how many lines can be expanded.
