   Step 3: For costs charged per unit, also fill in Unit name (for example *mile*, *km* or *day*) and Unit price. Fill in both or neither.

   The price is in your account's currency. On the expense form, people then enter Units and see the amount worked out.

4. 4

   Step 4: To change a category, edit its row and click Save. Untick Active to stop offering it; expenses that already use it keep it.

On a phone, Categories is under the ⋯ button on Expenses. The categories are a list (with their price per unit, or Amount typed); tap one to change it in a sheet (Save category), or tap New category at the bottom right (Add category).

Accounts imported from Harvest already have Harvest's categories. Categories can't be deleted, only made inactive, so old expenses always keep theirs.
