How to approve an unapproved transaction

Asked by Lindsay Lorden

With the new feature of preventing accidental adding of transactions prior to last reconciled transaction, I have added an old one dated back in 2022 to an account.
I cannot find where I go to "accept" this transaction as valid. The "bang" icon seems to remain there forever.

Going into "All Transactions (Ctrl-A) I get a "1 requires approval" and a "Show" button. This presents the transaction I added.

However I cannot find how to do that 'approval' process. Can't find anything in the Help file either - but I may be missing something in my searching.

Can someone point me to where I can 'approve' any transactions that are valid. Obviously I could just delete it if it wasn't.

Thanks.

Just found my own answer!! Right click on the transaction and select "Approve" from the resulting dropdown list.

Does the Help file need a small update to enable users to find this piece of information?

it is documented into the lexicon
it's quite obvious
this feature is optional if annoying

Thanks for pointing me to it Maxime.

It's in the Lexicon but it's section title is "Pending", and within that it mentions the word "unapproved". Can the section title be made "Pending (unapproved)"? ie like "forecast (cashflow)".

This would quickly link the two terms when looking in the Lexicon.
