Common questions

Can I change the cycle on an active budget?
Yes. Changing the cycle takes effect at the start of the next period. The current cycle completes as normal.
What happens to transactions if I remove a user from a budget?
Existing transactions stay on the budget. The user simply can’t make new purchases from it.
Can a budget owner edit the budget?
Yes. Budget owners can edit the budget and see all transactions within it, just like an admin.
