I am trying ascertain where I got to after a four year gap and thinking print a tree and include on printout out all notes and reference to media sources. How can I do that/any better approaches?

I suspect such a global approach may be too extensive.
Possibly a more focussed method would work better.
For example, start with yourself and work back generation by generation, or along each direct ancestral line, one at a time.
Ask yourself what you really want to know?
Probably more along the lines of what Facts are missing &/or have no Sources, rather than those that do exist.

I doubt if any one Diagram, Report, or Query will give all that you need, but here are some ideas.
A Fact Query is probably a more compact way of presenting the database status.
The Rows can be filtered to focus on a subset of Individuals and a subset of Facts.
The Columns can include Notes and Sources and Media per Fact.

There are also several Queries in the fhugdownloads:index#family_historian|> Downloads and plugins:about|> About Family Historian Plugins that you will find useful.

Regarding Diagrams, see how_to:using_flags_and_icons_and_expressions|> Using Flags and Icons and Expressions to add Icons to Diagrams to automatically signal what Facts have complete Source Citations with Media.
