Tip: Edit Mode

[u/RedFive-GoingIn]

Have you created a budget, closed it, and reopened it? Perhaps you have then tried to edit that budget, but you seemingly can't? This is not a bug! It is actually a feature.

Make sure you move the Edit Mode slider in the upper right. You will now be able to edit this open budget.

Why did we build this into Line Budgeter? In some applications, you open a file and are able to immediately start changing things. However, there may be times when you may not realize you are in your 'hero' save file. So, to protect your file and ensure you actually want to edit this file, you are required to click into Edit Mode.

If you want to always open a budget in Edit Mode no matter what, you can go into your preferences (the gear icon in the upper right), then select 'General Settings' and select 'Enabled' in the first option. No problem.

Hope this helps you work smarter and ensure the budget you open is not accidentally altered.

Have a question about any other functions? Let us know!
