Troubleshooting
Dashboard or nav items missing
Navigation is permission-filtered. Dashboard needs statistics.view. Accounts needs accounts.view.
Import failed to match accounts
For bills/receipts import, ensure account name or email in your data matches existing accounts.
Export count is zero
Check filters — tags, balance status, or date range may exclude all rows.
Usage quota errors
Refresh usage from the profile menu or contact your workspace owner to increase limits.
