# Edit, split or delete a transaction

Open a transaction in Transactions to change its details, split a bill or exclude it, and restore deleted ones from Trash within 30 days.

## Open a transaction

Every change starts from the transaction in **Transactions**.

1. On a computer, select **Open Menu** (the ⋯) at the end of the row, then **Edit**. On a phone, tap the transaction.
2. Make your changes, then select **Confirm**. **Cancel** closes without saving.

On a computer, you can also select the category in a row and pick another. That saves straight away.

## Change the category, amount, name, date or notes

A transaction's edit window has a button for each detail. Each opens a small box. On a phone, select **Confirm** in the box; on a computer, select outside it. Your change is saved when you select **Confirm** at the bottom of the window.

- **Category**: select a category. Select it again to clear it.
- **Edit amount** (the coins): type a **New Amount** and choose **Out** or **In**. You can also change the currency. **Original Amount** shows what your bank sent.
- **Rename transaction** (the T): type a **New Name**.
- **Edit date** (the calendar): pick a day.
- **Edit notes**: type a note for yourself.
- **Tags**: select **Add tag** (the +). See [Tag transactions](https://treasury.sh/help/tags).

When your bank later updates a transaction, Treasury keeps your name, amount, currency, category, notes, tags and exclusion. The date follows the bank's, even one you set yourself. If your bank removes a transaction, Treasury removes it too, without keeping it in Trash.

## Split a shared bill

Treasury can't split one transaction into several transactions or categories. **Quick Split** changes the amount to your share instead, so only your part counts.

1. Open the transaction and select **Edit amount** (the coins).
2. Under **Quick Split**, select **50%**, **33%** or **25%** of the original amount.
3. To ask a friend for the same share, select **Request on Venmo** (the Venmo logo, or **Request** on a phone). Venmo opens with the amount filled in.
4. Close the box (**Confirm** on a phone), then select **Confirm** to save.

The Venmo request only appears for US dollar transactions. Treasury doesn't send or request money itself.

## Exclude a transaction from your budgets

An excluded transaction stays in your list but doesn't count toward budget totals. It also leaves [Turbo-Review](https://treasury.sh/help/review-transactions#turbo-review).

1. In **Transactions**, select **Open Menu** (the ⋯) on the row.
2. Select **Exclude**. It saves straight away, and the row shows a crossed-out box beside the name.

On a phone, tap the transaction, select **Exclude from calculations**, then **Confirm**.

To count it again, select **Include** in the same menu. On a phone, tap the transaction, select **Include in calculations**, then **Confirm**. A transaction has no **Exclude from Budget** button: that name belongs to a [transfer setting](https://treasury.sh/help/transfers#handling). See [Budget totals explained](https://treasury.sh/help/budget-totals#transfers) for what totals count.

## Edit many transactions at once

On a computer, you can change many transactions together. Phones don't show the tick boxes.

1. In **Transactions**, tick the box beside each transaction. Hold Shift to tick a run of rows, or tick a date to select that whole day.
2. In the bar that shows how many rows are selected, choose **Set Date**, **Tag**, **Categorize** or **Delete**.

A selection covers only the page you're on. **Tag** replaces each transaction's tags with the ones you pick. Applying it with none picked removes all their tags. There's no bulk exclude.

## Delete a transaction

Deleting moves a transaction to Trash. It stops counting toward your budgets, and nothing changes at your bank.

1. In **Transactions**, select **Open Menu** (the ⋯) on the row, then **Delete**. On a phone, tap the transaction, then select **Delete transaction** (the bin).
2. Select **Delete** to confirm.

To delete many at once, see [edit many transactions at once](https://treasury.sh/help/edit-transactions#bulk).

## Restore a transaction or empty Trash

Trash keeps deleted transactions for 30 days, then removes them for good.

1. In **Transactions**, select **Trash** (the bin with a count).
2. On a computer, select **Open Menu** (the ⋯) on a row. On a phone, tap the transaction.
3. Select **Restore** to put it back, or **Delete Forever** to remove it now. Confirm with **Delete Forever**, or **Confirm Delete Forever** on a phone.

On a computer, you can tick several and select **Restore** or **Delete Forever**. To empty Trash, select **Delete All** (on a phone, the bin), then **Delete Forever**.

> [!CAUTION]
> **Delete Forever** and **Delete All** can't be undone.

## Get help with a transaction

Treasury AI can explain a transaction, but it can't edit, categorize or delete one for you. You can also open **Help & feedback** at the bottom of the sidebar, or in **Settings** on a phone. See [What never to send](https://treasury.sh/help/contact-support#safety).
