You might want to start with this email thread: "[GNC] Why or why not to 
do year-end closing journal entries? (Close Books?)" from December 2023 
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2023-December/109762.html>.

My top lesson about year-end closing books using GnuCash is, you don't 
have to do it. And so I don't. My books contain over 10 years of 
transactions at this point.

If you don't close books and start a new book file, then the existing 
book file, which you continue to use, will continue to provide 
autocomplete from previous years.
