You don't need to roll back a reconciliation that is now out of whack. If need be, un-reconcile that transaction split, then re-reconcile. Regards, Adrien On 5/29/24 8:33 AM, Peter Cuthbert via gnucash-user wrote: So final thought for the GNUCash programmers.  Please consider a 'roll back' fac

Useful hint (when making backups, any, not just gnucash) My suggestion would be to take a copy of your actual data file and put it somewhere safe before you do anything further Remove any uncertainty about what back-up is which. Include the Julian date in the name of the file. Thus if I were m

Generally, I find that transactions ONLY get dereconciled due to an action I have taken-- like changing some element of said transaction. They don't just "get unreconciled"-- at least, not for me. There was a short period of time where the app was very strict about when a transaction was dereco
