# Review new transactions

Turbo-Review on Transactions shows each uncategorized transaction in turn, newest first, so you can give it a category, exclude it or fix it.

## What needs review

Treasury has no separate "reviewed" tick. A transaction needs review when it has no category yet. Once it has a category, or you exclude it, it's done.

The number on **Turbo-Review** (the lightning bolt) at the top of **Transactions** is how many are waiting. Excluded and deleted transactions never count.

New transactions from your bank arrive without a category unless Treasury files them for you. To have more filed automatically, see [Auto-categorize transactions](https://treasury.sh/help/auto-categorize#modes).

## Categorize one at a time in Turbo-Review

Turbo-Review shows your uncategorized transactions one at a time, newest first.

1. In **Transactions**, select **Turbo-Review** (the lightning bolt). Turbo-Review opens on the newest one.
2. Under **Category**, select a category. Select it again to clear it.
3. Select **Confirm**. Treasury saves the category and moves to the next transaction.

The row of buttons over **Category** can change the amount, name, date or notes, or delete the transaction. They work the same as in [Edit, split or delete a transaction](https://treasury.sh/help/edit-transactions#edit). When nothing is left, Turbo-Review shows **No transactions left to review**.

## Use Turbo-Review keyboard shortcuts

On a computer, Turbo-Review works from the keyboard.

- Press the letter shown on a category to select it, such as **A** for the first. Only the first 26 categories have a letter.
- Press **Enter** to confirm and **Esc** to close.
- Press the up arrow for the next transaction and the down arrow for the previous one.

Shortcuts pause while a box such as **Rename Transaction** is open. The letters and **Enter** also work when you edit a single transaction.

## Skip a transaction or go back

In **Review Transactions**, use **Next transaction** and **Previous transaction** beside the count, such as 3/15. A skipped transaction stays in the list for later.

Select **Close** to stop. Transactions you didn't confirm stay waiting for next time.

## If a transaction is still waiting for review

Turbo-Review keeps a transaction until it has a category or is excluded. Changing only its name, amount, date or notes doesn't take it out.

- To leave something out of your budgets instead, such as a refund you track elsewhere, select **Exclude from calculations**, then **Confirm**.
- Pending transactions wait for review too, the same as posted ones.
- Transfers between your own accounts can wait here when **Handle Internal Transfers** is set to **Leave Unreviewed**. See [Transfers between your accounts](https://treasury.sh/help/transfers#handling).

## Categorize many transactions at once

On a computer, the **Transactions** list can file many transactions in one go.

1. In **Transactions**, [filter by **Uncategorized**](https://treasury.sh/help/search-transactions#filter).
2. Tick the transactions that share a category.
3. Select **Categorize** in the bar that appears, then pick the category.

See [edit many transactions at once](https://treasury.sh/help/edit-transactions#bulk) for the other bulk actions.

## Get help reviewing transactions

Treasury AI can explain a transaction or answer questions about your spending. It can't categorize, edit or delete transactions for you. Treasury itself can categorize new transactions with AI, as [Auto-categorize transactions](https://treasury.sh/help/auto-categorize#how) explains. 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).
