GnuCash - Year End Questions

[Winslow von Maur]

Hi 
 
Several questions
 
1.       Do I have to reconcile?
2.       How do I update to the newest version of gnucash without losing my data in this new version?  Do I have to do some type of export from old gnu and then import to the new gnu (if so, then how?)?
3.       My year end is May 31.  How do I close the fiscal year?
4.       My year begins on June 1st.  How do I start the new year?
 
I am not an accountant, but learning on the fly with the most basic needs.  Do you have step by step info (youtube/pdf….) to help me find the info.  I seem to be reading up on lots of other info and not finding the right info for me.
 
I hope you can help me. Thank you.
 
cheers,
