When you open Pedigree Forge you can start entering information straight away. The program is ready for you to enter the first person:
The “Action Bar” runs down the left side of the Pedigree Forge’s main window giving access to various editing screens. The top button (person icon), allows you to enter and edit information on the currently selected person. The main information is added in the panel to right of the action bar.
Clicking the same Action Bar button again will hide the editing panel; click it again will show the editing panel.
