Interesting. The only customization of the Accounts page I'd ever done, till reading your note, was adding to Account Code column. Out of curiosity I tried Total (period) as you mentioned. Of course in my case, since I closed the books at the end of 2022, the total (period) and total columns are the same for income and expenses. But they are _not_ the same for assets, liabilities, and equity. This is a nice way to make the current year's change in those accounts visible.
