Frequently asked questions
Why do duplicate transactions show up in my bank feed?
They typically happen when automatic feed loops glitch or when manual CSV uploads overlap with an active direct bank connection.
Do I delete duplicates directly, or exclude them first?
You should exclude them first, which moves them to a safety tab, then permanently delete from there once you're confident they're duplicates.
Can I recover a transaction I accidentally excluded?
Yes, use the Undo option on the excluded row to bring it back into your active feed if it was actually a real transaction.
How do duplicates affect my books if left unresolved?
They can distort income statements and cause major balance variances during month-end bank reconciliations.
