The RootsMagic interface consists of a single main window for each database you open. The window can be opened full screen, or resized to a size that is comfortable for you.

The Main Window

The Main Window contains all the information, commands, etc. for a single RootsMagic file. If you open a second RootsMagic file, a new main window will open for that file. Some items on the main screen will be visible at all times, while other items will change depending on what data you are viewing.

Home Page

The Home Page contains information about the current file (if one is open), as well as news, links to help, and information about program updates.

Files Page

The Files Page lets you create, open, import, export, and otherwise manipulate RootsMagic files.

People Page

The People Page in RootsMagic lets you switch between five views of the people in your family. You can switch between the views by clicking the tabs at the top of the page.

Places Page

The Places Page lets you view places, place details, and mapping

Sources Page

The Sources Page displays an alphabetical list of all the sources in your file, as well as the number of citations for each source. You can select any source to see the full details of the source on the right side of the Source Page, including source fields, media attached to the source, repositories for the source, WebTags attached to the source, and a list of places where the source is used.
