# How to Void a Trade

Release #242, on June 23, 2022, introduced the ability to easily void a trade, essentially deleting the trade while maintaining the reporting data up to the void date.

On the **TRADES** screen, find the trade you wish to void, click the hamburger action menu and select **VOID:**

From there, you can update the void date and press **SAVE** when finished:

All valuation entries for this trade with a reporting date greater than or equal to the void date will be deleted.

Follow the steps above to void the trade but remember to select which trades in the group you'd like to void:

Add the **VOID DATE**, and press **SAVE** when you're finished. &#x20;

Voided trades can still be viewed in the application by selecting **SHOW DELETED TRADES** from the actions menu of the Trades screen:
