Change something in a closed month
A closed month is locked. An owner or controller reopens it with a reason, which is logged; make the change and lock the month again.

Steps
Step 1: Open Close and go to the month with the Previous month arrow.
Step 2: Press Reopen and the month. This button shows only for owners and controllers.
Step 3: Type a Reason (at least three characters) and press Reopen to confirm. The reason is logged.
Step 4: Make the change, then lock the month again from the Close page.
Good to know
- Anyone else can still suggest a change: it goes to Approvals for an owner.
- Accountable AI and agents can never change a closed month; they can only propose reopening it, which needs an owner's approval.
