Activity, undo, and corrections

Righto records every change: who made it (you, a rule, or an agent), when, what changed, and the reason. Posted records never change in place. A correction is a new record that reverses the old one, so the history always shows what happened.

See the history

• In the details of any transaction, open its history to see every change to that record.
• Open Activity to see all changes, grouped by task. A task by an agent shows the agent’s name and the reason that it gave.

Undo

Select a change in Activity and choose Undo. Righto first shows what the undo will reverse or restore.

If later work depends on the change, Righto does not undo it. It shows the later records, so that you can correct them first. An undo never erases history: it adds reversing entries, and both stay in the record.

Fix a mistake by hand

• Wrong category: open the transaction and change it.
• Wrong match: unlink the bank line, then match it or categorize it again.
• A posted entry that should not exist: delete it. Righto reverses it.
• The same bank line imported two times: exclude the extra line. It stays as evidence but does not count.

Data problems

If Righto finds a problem in the books, for example a statement that is no longer verified or an import exception, it lists it with the records and the action that fixes it. Righto never hides a difference in a made-up balancing entry.
