User reviews

This is a fantastic enhancement! So much capability not just in editing but in viewing, searching, and anything else you can think of regarding WikiTree. I don't know what they all do yet but what I've played with so far is fantastic.

As a new WikiTree editor, I was fortunate to stumble upon WBE and added it to my browser before I even knew what it did. Now that I finally watched the training video with Greg and Murray, I am SO glad I found it and very thankful to Ian and the whole team who did such an amazing job with this tool!

I don't know if I could use WikiTree without this extension. It has all the bells and whistles. It is a "Must Install".
