2. Sync Retry: If synchronization fails, wait 24 hours and try again. Contact support if issues persist.
3. Editing Connections: Use the Connection Edit Screen (Settings → Connections) to manage or match new assets post-import.
4. Pro Tip for syncing new Transactions: For the most precise tracking, you have two options:
Wait 24 hours before syncing to ensure both your balances and transactions are fully updated.
Sync now to get an updated cash balance immediately, knowing that any missing transactions will automatically correct themselves within 24 hours.

Automatic Balance Adjustments
When API limitations prevent the import of complete trade history, an automatic transaction is created to adjust the asset balance to match the broker’s reported balance. This process, known as an Automatic Balance Adjustment, occurs in the following situations:
• Missing transaction data: When transactions that impact the current balance were executed before the import process began.
• Discrepancy in broker-reported balance: When the balance reported by the broker does not align with the calculated balance based on the available transaction history. For example, if the broker shows a holding of 5 AAPL shares, but the imported transactions only account for a purchase of 3 AAPL shares, the system will create an adjustment for the remaining 2 shares to correct the discrepancy.
Please note, that these transactions will appear as the most recent entries at the top of the transaction list with each broker synchronization.
