Question

Set up guide issue

Hello,


How can I get rid of the annoying "Set Up Guide" at the top of my dashboard?

 


I have completed all tasks, each one is green with a tick. I have even repeated most of the tasks to make sure it was done correctly. Why is this still stuck at 40%?


Thanks

    Hello, @davidtripp94.

     

    Thank you for the screenshot added and allow me to share additional information about the Set Up Guide section showing up from your QuickBooks Online dashboard.

     

    The Set Up Guide will show up when an account is newly signed up or created. This serves as guides specifically for new users. To get rid of this, you have to complete the process from See how much you're making down to the Add the finishing touches. In the long run, it will just disappear from there.

     

    Since you've completed the tasks or instructions from the guides provided yet it's still showing as 40%, we can perform some basic troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue. You can start by opening QuickBooks using a private window. Sometimes, the regular browser tends to hold onto information, and over time it could cause problems while working with QuickBooks.

     

    To save you time, use either of these keyboard shortcuts:

     

    • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
    • Internet Explorer: press Ctrl + Shift + P
    • Safari: press Command + Shift +N

    If that works fine from there, go back to your original browser and clear its cache to start fresh. Also, using other supported browsers can help us narrow the cause of this behaviour.

     

    As always, feel free to read the topics from our help articles as your references while working with QuickBooks in the future.

     

    Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm always here to help. Keep safe always, @davidtripp94!

    Thanks for your reply.

     

    I have tried the above suggestion using a private window, it didn't make any difference and it still shows the set up guide at 40%.

     

    Thanks
