Total Web Solution Journey 

We've extended the completion timeline for Total Web Solution (TWS) to the first half of 2026.  This extension decision was made to ensure you have time to adopt, while also allowing time for improvements in usability and performance, based on your feedback!  

By slowing the process, we hope users will feel assured and well-supported as they adapt to Financial Edge NXT's new workflows.  

Stay engaged with our TWS journey right here and through our dedicated Total Web Solution page, the Product Update Briefing (PUB), your monthly emails, and of course, the in-product notifications. These resources will keep you up-to-date on the latest developments and what's coming next. Thank you for being part of this exciting transformation!

I hope the search feature for Bank Reconciliations will be enhanced to let us search by dollar amount also. That is a very useful feature for my largest bank account.
