After making a change to information in Legacy, it is possible by "Edit", "Update text" to add this information to a chart without having to redraw it.

In my case, I had discovered the date of birth of a family member and added it to the Legacy file. I then did "update text" and found that the new d.o.b. had been added on top of the existing date of death.

I managed to move things around to untangle it, but it does somewhat reduce the usefulness of this facility. For instance, the auto-update option becomes less than useful if you need to do this sort of untangling.
