How do I change account numbers in the chart of accounts?

Let me guide you on how you can change the account numbers in your Chart of Accounts, darrell6.

4. Tick the Account drop-down at the bottom of the list.
5. Select Edit Account.
6. Change the number in the Account No. field.
7. Hit Save & Close.
