Current documentation status
The plugin currently includes in-admin documentation and an editor guide after installation. Public documentation on this website is being expanded as RootLinePress moves through productization.
The priority is practical documentation that helps site owners avoid data loss, understand compatibility limits, and safely review genealogy records before making changes.
