RM10 - FamilySearch Central, link to tutorials needs addressing

Hello,
In RM10.0.1.0 (Windows), FamilySearch Central, there is a link (FamilySearch - RootsMagic Wiki) to a page that is supposedly related to tutorials on using RM with FamilySearch, yet the destination page fails to include one instance of the word ‘tutorial’, much less any tutorials.

Should this link in RM10 be pointing to a different page?

this link will probably be more helpful – the link in the program is not “wrong” per say but older link

some other helpful Wiki Main Page and RM 10 Main Page

@kevync1985 - Nice to meet you and thank you for the reply.

The search (for FamilySearch) results at the YouTube site are a bit dated - see screenshot below, and none of the 3 links kindly shared included any instance of the word ‘tutorial’.

The wiki page FamilySearch Central - RootsMagic Wiki, the one you shared, and (FamilySearch Person Tools), seem to be the best places to start reading, but still none are really what most people think of as being a tutorial.

If in fact there are any online tutorials on using RootsMagic with FamilySearch, the link provided in RM10.0.1.0, FamilySearch Central needs to be fixed, or the word ‘tutorial’ removed altogether if there are no tutorials.

per the dictionary - “an account or explanation of a subject or task, especially as an online video”

Exactly what the RM videos demonstrate - how to work the program

FamilySearch works the same as in the “older” video so no real reason to make another IMHO

Well… a tutorial does NOT have to be a video - but most people think of a video when a tutorial is mentioned. A Help doc with screenshots and instructions usually would be considered to be a “tutorial”. However, many people would not consider a simple helpdoc without screen shots to be a “tutorial” so that is a fair point.

Ps. You are welcome and nice to meet you also.
