Troubleshooting

Navigation is permission-filtered. Dashboard needs statistics.view. Accounts needs accounts.view.

For bills/receipts import, ensure account name or email in your data matches existing accounts.

Check filters — tags, balance status, or date range may exclude all rows.

Refresh usage from the profile menu or contact your workspace owner to increase limits.
