Editing and saving a paycheck doesn't let the system copy the same information in QuickBooks Online (QBO) when you run payroll, Jody. Please know that this will depend on the pay type you've set for your employees in the program. We'll provide more information to answer your inquiry.
If your employees have an hourly pay type set in their profile, editing and saving the details while running payroll won't prompt the system to use the same information in the future. Please know that QuickBooks defaults to zero hours, as it requires you to enter the specific hours your employees have worked. However, if your employees are salaried, the system will automatically use the same information each time you run payroll.
To modify your employee's information, refer to this article: Edit or change employee info in payroll.
Moreover, you can visit this article to review payroll runs in QBO: Run payroll reports.
