[GNC] How to re-import exported transactions?

[David Carlson]

When importing a csv file that was exported from GnuCash  it works a little
different.   First, if it was exported from release 4.xx or earlier, select
that option from the types.  For both types the account matching is done in
an extra step before the transaction matching step.

For me, in W10 GnuCash release 5.10 will import a file made with release
4.8.
