Which order should Trees be created for syncing?

Gramps Web

A user of Gramps Web posting to the Reddit forum asks if it matters which order you create Trees when intending to use Gramps Web Sync?

Should you export from Gramps (for desktops) to create the initial XML file to import into a new instance of Gramps Web ? Or does it not matter? So syncing also work if you exported from Gramps Web to create a new Tree in Gramps (for desktops)?

In the same thread, another user asks if a Gramps Web instance can be changed from single Tree to multi-tree? (And, if so, asks about the workflow.) Or does the number of trees need to be configured from the start?

The documentation is indeed lacking and support is welcome. But while the multi-tree feature works reliably when set up correctly, it is also very much an expert feature with more manual work required compared to the default single-tree setup. So I usually opt for doing something that benefits the majority of users trying to set up a “normal” instance. It’s great that there are expert users who are successfully running multi-tree instances, and it would be great if some of those experts could help documenting their acquired knowledge.
