To manage your DNA on Ancestry, navigate to the DNA section of your account to access various settings and sharing options.
Here's a breakdown of how to access and manage your DNA settings:
-
Accessing DNA Settings:
- In the top-left corner of the Ancestry App, click on your profile.
- Under "Manage DNA test," select your DNA test. If you want to invite someone to a different DNA test, select "Switch test".
-
DNA Test Sharing:
- Scroll down to the "DNA test sharing" section.
- Select "DNA test sharing". This will allow you to manage who can see your DNA results and the permissions they have. You can invite others to view your results as either a "Viewer" or a "Collaborator." Collaborators have more permissions and can make changes to certain aspects of your DNA settings.
Key Management Options within DNA Test Sharing:
- Inviting Viewers or Collaborators: You can invite specific individuals to access your DNA results, granting them either viewer or collaborator permissions.
- Changing Permissions: You can modify the permissions assigned to individuals who already have access to your results, upgrading them from viewer to collaborator or vice versa.
- Removing Access: You can revoke access entirely from individuals who no longer need to view your results.
- Managing Ethnicity Inheritance: Allows you to specify how your ethnicity estimate is calculated in relation to your DNA matches.
By utilizing these management options, you can control who can see and interact with your DNA data on Ancestry, ensuring your privacy and allowing for effective collaboration.
