I've just had a look at the sections on reconciliation in the GnuCash guide.
4.4 https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/txns-reconcile1.html 5.4 https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/cbook-reconacct1.html 5.8 https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/acct-reconcile.html 7.5 https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/cc-together1.html#cc-together-reconcile2 To my mind there is a lot of informationout of sequence. 4.4 Is primarily discussing the reconciliation flags in transactions and then goes off in 4,4,1 ia a discussion of the reconciliation setup windows and the reconciliation winow itself a lot of which is subsequently repeated without the screenshots in 5.8 and then again in 7.5 with a lot more discussion about the process. 5.4 is a general discussion of the purpose and function of reconciliation in the context of a checkbook. This gives the impression that there is essentially something different about the reconciliation of a bank account or a credit card account as compared with any other account and the same information is maintained at three dirfferent points. I would propose restricting 4.4 to a discussion of the flags on individual transactions with a link to the complete discussion as proposed below under section 5.8 and then, consolidating the introduction from 5.4, discussion of the windows from 4.4, and the process of reconciliation of any account under 5.8 as a general section on account reconciliation and the process under 7.5 into a general section on reconciliation of accounts including specific references to specific account types ( e.g credit card where the interest payment is discussed etc) as required and then just provide a link to this section from the current 7.5 and 5.4. I would appreciate any feedback regarding this proposal from the doc maintainers, developers and users re the value in doing the above and any alternative suggestions or ideas with a view to rewriting the above sections a little more coherently.
