WHERE TO GO

Expense → Add Category / selected category → Edit

Step by step

  1. Search the category directory to see whether the category already exists.

  2. Choose Add Category and enter a clear name.

  3. Save and select the new category.

  4. For a supported rename, use the category’s edit action and save the revised name.

  5. Use the category on the next relevant expense.

What to check

  • The category appears in the expense directory and selector.

Things to know

  • Some built-in categories have editing restrictions.
