After May 22, 2026, Classic reports will no longer be available
. Modern view will become the only reporting experience across QuickBooks Online, Intuit Accountant Suite, and Intuit Enterprise Suite. Your data, filters, and saved reports carry over automatically. You don't need to do anything before that date.One thing to know before May 22: Starting mid-April, you won't be able to save new customizations in Classic view. If you edit a Classic report and want to save it, we'll prompt you to switch to Modern view first. Your filters and grouping will transfer so you won't need to re-enter them.
Why we're making this change
The Classic reporting platform has reached the end of its development roadmap. We built Modern reports to handle larger data volumes, ship new features faster, and support clearer insight views including dashboard KPIs.
What stays the same
Your data doesn't change. Modern reports surface the same information as Classic. The core reporting actions are all there.
We're actively resolving a small number of known discrepancies between Classic and Modern outputs. See our Canny board for current status on specific issues.
What's new in Modern view
- Add almost any attribute column to a report
- Use new grouping and Pivot options
- View data in charts
- Apply visual formatting like banded rows, color-coded columns, and flexible gridlines
Note: Banded rows, color-coded columns, and some other visual options are available on QuickBooks Advanced and Intuit Enterprise Suite. They're not included in lower-tier plans.
Recent improvements
- More screen space:We reduced the top panel size. The most-used options ("Display columns by," "Compare to") stay at the top; other customizations sit in a right-side panel.
- Drill-downs retain your settings:When you drill into a transaction and return, your customizations stay in place.
- Auto-refresh:Reports refresh automatically after you change a drilled-down transaction.
- Full-page scrolling and search:Scroll the whole page, and use Ctrl+F (Command+F on Mac) to search within longer reports.
- Standard accounting order:General Ledger and Trial Balance now follow standard order. Zero-dollar accounts remain drillable; rows with no activity are hidden by default.
What we'll add before May 22
Before we remove Classic view, we'll deliver:
- Improved report loading and drilldown performance
- Expand/collapse for sub-accounts in financial reports
- Apply customisations and run report at once
- Persist customisation while refreshing your browser tabs
- Non-truncated columns, account labels, and simplified date headers consistent with Classic
- Excel export with formulas
- Accounting method preference applied in financial reports
