To edit an account in Extrack, open the Accounts page, tap the row, tap Edit on the detail view. The form fields are identical to "New account" plus an extra checkbox: "Mark this account as closed (hide from new entries)". Change any field — label, type, opening balance, type-specific fields — and save. Existing transactions stay attached.

Steps

  1. Tap the account row

    Detail view opens with current values, recent activity and an Edit action.

  2. Tap Edit

    Fields become editable. Modal title reads "Edit account".

  3. Change what you need

    Label, type, opening balance, type-specific fields. Toggle "Mark this account as closed (hide from new entries)" to remove from the new-transaction picker.

  4. Save

    Changes apply; the Accounts list refreshes. Balances recompute if the opening balance changed.

Frequently asked

Changing the opening balance — does it affect existing transactions?

No. Transactions stay; the current balance shifts by the delta. Use this to fix a setup mistake.

Why can I not toggle "Closed" on a brand-new account?

The "Mark this account as closed" checkbox only appears in Edit mode (not Create) — there is no reason to create a closed account.
