  1. Click "Tree Settings" from the bottom of the tree menu at the left of the screen
  2. In the "Personal Settings" section of the tree settings page, remove the current root person by clicking the "X" to the right of their name
  3. Start typing in the box to find and select the new root person from the list of people in the tree
  4. Click "Save"
