Discard stops a saved import that has not yet added its rows. The confirmation explains that the checked rows remain in history, so you can still see what was prepared and why it was stopped.
- Open the staged batch and confirm its filename, account and company.
- Choose Discard and enter a short reason that explains the decision, such as selecting the wrong source account.
- Confirm the action and check that the batch reports it was discarded before import.
Use a specific reason rather than a generic note. It helps distinguish a deliberate replacement from a failed import when you revisit history later.
Start a corrected batch
If you need to try again, fix the account, file or mapping problem first. Compare the new preview with the source before checking against the books.
Discarding is different from rolling back rows already imported. If the batch has started committing, inspect its current result and available actions instead of assuming nothing was added. Existing transactions can remain, especially where later review or accounting work protects them. Always base recovery on the saved status.
