Overview of the menu

Move around QuickBooks by hovering over the menu. Most of the menu options have a pop-up menu. Otherwise, select the icon itself if no menu appears.

• +Create opens a new transaction, project, task, or goal. 
• Bookmarks show a list of pages you’ve saved for easy access. 
• Home helps you plan, budget, and monitor your finances with a variety of apps. You can select Add or remove widgets to tailor the page to your needs.
• Feed shows an AI-generated summary of recent transactions and the state of your finances.
• Reports collect data about your business’ activities and present them in a single document for you to study and use to help run your business.
• All apps show the various task hubs and services you can access in QuickBooks Online.

You can pin as many apps as you want for quick access. When you first open QuickBooks Online, the pinned apps will be Accounting, Sales, and Customers, but you can change them.

To add or remove pinned apps, go to Customize, then select the apps you want to include and select Save.

Browse your apps

The All apps menu puts your different tasks, transactions, and dashboards into specific areas, like Time, Accounting, and Projects. Select a hub or feature to choose from options related to that topic. You can bookmark individual screens from this menu by hovering over its name and selecting the bookmark icon next to it.

As you add services like Payroll to QuickBooks, we add them to the bottom of this menu.
