[GNC] Deleting test data

[Eric Coates]

Hi

If you've done a lot of work setting up various accounts and you want to preserve that work the following is a way of doing that:

File > Export > Export Account Tree to CSV
Progress through the various stages (be sure to remember the file name and its location)

File > New File
Progress through the stages making the necessary choices. (In my test I just accepted all the default options, they seemed to be based on my locale.)

There were (in my tests) some errors that related to missing commodities - I ignored them, not always a good thing.

File > Import > Import Accounts from CSV
Proceed through the stages

In my tests that gave me a good basis to start from, probably best to check things out. Make further additions changes/corrections as required.

Good luck!

Eric
