Understanding Dates in Digits

Keeping your books accurate starts with setting the right dates. Here's a quick guide to how Digits handles them—and what each one means.


Cutover Date

Your cutover date is when you officially switch your books over to Digits. From that day on, Digits handles everything going forward.

If you came from QuickBooks, Digits pulls in your past data during setup—right up to the cutover date. After that, the QuickBooks connection is closed and won’t sync any more changes.

  4. View your selected cutover date. 



Period Selector

Use the Period Selector to focus on specific timeframes. Choose from quick options like months, quarters, or years—or set a custom range that fits your needs.
