It uses the existing ones. I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise.

Good catch. That’s definitely a documentation bug. I could see why including it

Derek,
I don't know about renaming, but you certainly can move them! I've had my
Imbalance accounts placed in a different top level account (Special Accounts)

I’m using 3.6 on MacOS.
It says, emphasis mine:
A legal value is any single character EXCEPT letters and numbers, or any of the
following strings: “colon” “slash”, “backslash”, “dash” and “period”.
There are three missing commas in that list, but the intent is still clear. The

I’d already tried that, and it didn’t work.
To be clear, I had an unbalanced transaction which had caused the creation of
Imbalance-GBP.
I saved the file, closed GC and then reopened it - generating the

If you change a name of the created accounts, GnuCash will just create a
new one. I think it specifically looks for the name.
I also don't think you can *move* those accounts, either.
