How do you get the laptop version to look the same as the desktop version?

Thank you for your question, Mccanns. I understand that you want your laptop interface to resemble the desktop version for a smoother and more seamless workflow. I’m here to assist you in achieving the version that best fits your needs.

To better assist you, please clarify whether you are referring to transitioning from the QuickBooks Online to the Desktop version, or if you mean switching from the QuickBooks Online web browser version to the QuickBooks Online Desktop App version. This will help me provide more precise guidance tailored to your specific situation.

Please note that QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop versions are designed separately, each has a different user interface and the option to change the appearance to make them appear the same is unsupported.

QuickBooks Online is available as a web browser version and a desktop app for Windows and Mac. If you're referring to transitioning to the QuickBooks Online Desktop App version, please know that this option is exclusively available for QuickBooks Online Advanced subscribers.

Here's how:

1. Click the Gear Icon in QuickBooks Online.
2. Under Your Company, select Get the Desktop app.
3. Choose Download for Windows or Download for Mac depending on your device.

For a detailed walkthrough on downloading and installing the app, refer to this helpful article: Download and use the QuickBooks Online desktop app.
