The Manage Categories tool is used to restore default categories. If you have accidentally or otherwise selected a default category, you can restore it using Manage Categories.
- Select Tools menu → Category List.
- At the bottom of the Category List screen, select Options → Manage Categories.
- Select from the sections of available categories. Some category groups may not be available for your tier of Quicken.
- Standard
- Business
- Investment
- Rentals and Royalties
On the left side, select the categories you want to re-add. A mark will appear by those categories.
Unsure of what is missing?
You have the option to Mark All. Do this if you are unsure what is missing or want to re-add everything. Quicken will not add duplicate categories.
- Select Add to add these categories to the Categories to add list on the right.
- Select OK. The categories will be restored.
