Transactions

How do I change many transactions at once?

On a computer, tick the transactions you want, then use the bar that appears to set a category or date, add or remove tags, ignore them, mark them reviewed or delete them. Each change applies to every selected transaction at once.

Selecting several transactions saves you opening each one. Bulk editing works on a computer; on a phone, open transactions one at a time.

Select transactions

  1. Tick the rows

    Tick the box at the start of each row. In spreadsheet mode, point at a row's number to show its box, or press Shift+Space.

  2. Or select the whole page

    Tick the box in the heading row to select every transaction on the page.

  3. Use the bar

    A bar appears above the list with how many are selected. Point at the count to see what they are, like “3 bank-synced · 1 added by hand”. The × next to it clears the selection.

What you can change

Control

What it does

Business

Marks them as business or personal. Shown if you keep business money in Finly Money, and included with Thrive and Thrive Duo.

Delete

Deletes the ones from statements and the ones you added by hand. See below.

Each change applies as soon as you choose it, and a message confirms how many transactions changed. In a narrow window, some controls shrink to icons; point at one to see its name.

Deleting in bulk

Only transactions from statements and ones you added by hand can be deleted. Bank-synced transactions come from your bank, so they can only be ignored.

  • If everything selected can go, the button says Delete.
  • With a mix, it says how many will go, like Delete 3 of 5, and the bank-synced ones stay.
  • If none can be deleted, you'll see Can't delete and Ignore instead, which ignores them from everything.

Deleting can't be undone, so the bar asks once: choose Yes, delete … to go ahead, or Keep to stop. See delete a transaction.
