You don't need to roll back a reconciliation that is now out of whack. If need be, un-reconcile that transaction split, then re-reconcile. Regards, Adrien On 5/29/24 8:33 AM, Peter Cuthbert via gnucash-user wrote: So final thought for the GNUCash programmers.  Please consider a 'roll back'

Useful hint (when making backups, any, not just gnucash) My suggestion would be to take a copy of your actual data file and put it somewhere safe before you do anything further Remove any uncertainty about what back-up is which. Include the Julian date in the name of the file. Thus if I were
