The sidebar is a single, always-accessible location that allows you to find all your accounts in Quicken. Using the sidebar, you can add accounts, update your transactions and balances, view individual accounts (click the account name) or view multiple accounts at once (click the headers: Cash, Savings, Credit Card, Investments, Property & Debt).

Note: You can resize the sidebar according to your working and viewing preference. For more information, see resizing the sidebar.

Net Worth

Your net worth is displayed at the bottom of the sidebar so you can actively track this amount each time you perform an update of your accounts and transactions.
