Note:

  1. Sharing Trees is still under development; please send suggestions and comments to us.
  2. Tree Sharing is a much anticipated feature that allows user to share their trees for others to view and even collaborate with.
  3. Please email us (Evolgenius Team) if you have any questions; attach your datasets and trees if necessary. Tree Sharing comes with three different Sharing Modes, each grants different privileges to others; see details bellow.
