Release notes
What’s new in ClearView Pro 2.31
The main changes since the version 2.26 User Manual.
| Area | What changed |
|---|---|
| Colour themes | Settings → Preferences → Theme: Navy, Teal, Graphite or Indigo, in Light, Dark or Match Windows. Every screen, Help, the charts and exported PDF reports follow it. |
| Choosing the period | The period bar has Period, Compare with and Update. Report any month, quarter, year to date or date range, with an optional comparison column. A client opens on its latest period with no comparison. |
| Period names and titles | FY2025 for 31 December year-ends, FY25/26 for others, Q2 FY26/27, YTD FY26/27. Titles show only the dates actually reported. |
| Import Preview | Every Trial Balance and General Ledger import stops at a preview. Nothing is saved until you choose Save. |
| Existing periods and overlaps | Replace, Keep existing, Review differences, and Keep both for overlapping ledgers. A file for a different company needs your confirmation. |
| Trial Balance basis | Each Trial Balance is a Balance snapshot (default) or a Period movement. Monthly Trial Balances report any month or quarter with that range’s own profit. |
| Ledgers across years | A General Ledger that crosses the year-end is saved as one period per financial year. |
| Map General Ledger Columns | An unfamiliar ledger layout opens a column-mapping screen instead of an error. |
| QuickBooks Online | Statements match QuickBooks line by line: Beginning Balances, All Dates, sub-accounts and Profit for the year. |
| Manage periods | ⚙ Client → Manage periods… lists, deletes or replaces imported periods. |
| Reporting currency | Amounts show the client’s currency symbol (£, $, €, Rs or your own) on every page, chart and PDF — display only, nothing is converted. |
| Licence | Perpetual licence with fully offline activation, a 30-day evaluation, and Settings → Licence to activate or move a licence. |
| Getting started | A new installation opens on a Welcome panel with the Quick Start steps and the Demo Company. Your profile and the alerts bell sit in the sidebar and top bar. |
| Security and support | Stronger password protection with a recovery key, a guard on every data channel, a support log with no client data, and backups that can restore your practice settings. |
