If the Guide wasn't clear, perhaps there is room for improvement, but that setup wizard is just to get you started. You can add and remove accounts all you want after the fact. (with some caveats if removing accounts that contain transactions) You can even skip that new hierarchy setup

Along your line of thinking, it is also recommended that you try major changes with a disposable copy of your data file, keeping a backup if you don't like the results. Sometimes that may mean running two copies in parallel for a period of time. Good luck! On Fri, Sep 4, 2020 at 9:27 PM Default

Please remember to copy the list on all replies. If you don't know about pinning you didn't do it, and I suppose you didn't build boost yourself either. That suggests that the issue is with your distro, so go to their support channel and raise the issue with them. You haven't said what distro

If you enter amounts in Basic Ledger view, rather than Auto-Split, it will change both the debit and credit automatically (at least if there are only 2 splits).  But you then have to go into Auto-split to see if it worked. On 9/4/20 6:46 AM, Liz Dodd wrote: On Thu, 3 Sep 2020 21:16:49 -0400
