Improved user experience

Test company and Read-only company types

We’ve introduced new company types to differentiate between live, active company files and copies used for backups, reporting, or testing new features. This ensures that only the most up-to-date version of your company data is synchronized with your connected services.

To explore new features and services, create a Test company. For backups or reporting purposes, use a Read-only company.7
