Hi
I have been updating my tree on Family Tree and I would now like to update my tree on GR.

Is there an easy way of doing this? i.e importing from Family Tree Maker into GR and overwriting the one on here?

First create a gedcom from your Family Tree program.

Then go to Import / Export near the bottom of the page and follow the Import instructions.

When you import, your previous GR file is over-written - not merged - and can not subsequently be retrieved.. If you want a copy, then export a file first and save it somewhere.

Just wanted to say thank you - have just imported it as a gedcom.
