# How Do I Review Transactions in Bank Reconciliation
Once an account’s statement balance has been entered and reconciliation has started, its bank-fed transactions are sorted into two tabs: For review and Cleared. For review is the working list of everything still waiting on a decision.
##### How to Get There
1. Click Financials in the left nav, then Bank Reconciliation.
2. Enter a statement balance and click Start reconciling if the account isn’t already in progress (see “How Do I Enter My Statement Balance to Start Reconciling?”).
##### Reading the Workspace
Four summary tiles sit above the transaction list:
- Statement Balance — the amount entered at the start, with its “as of” date and a Change link.
- Book Balance — the current balance of the GL cash account this bank account posts to.
- Outstanding — how many transactions are still awaiting review, broken into Deposits and Withdrawals totals.
- Pending — the same breakdown, but for transactions the bank still shows as pending rather than posted.
Below the tiles, the For review tab (with a count badge) lists every bank-fed transaction still needing a decision. Each row shows the transaction’s description, its Transacted date, its Posted date, and its amount — green and positive for a deposit, red and negative for a withdrawal.
The Cleared tab (also with a count badge) holds everything already resolved — matched, excluded, or paired as a transfer. See “How Do I Undo a Cleared Bank Reconciliation Transaction?” for working with that tab.
##### Acting on a Transaction
Clicking a row in For review selects it and opens a matching panel to its right, where it can be matched to an existing record, used to create a new record, excluded, or paired as a transfer. See the related articles for each of those actions.
##### Seeing What Was Done
Every match, exclusion, transfer, and undo on an account is recorded in that account's activity log, which shows what was done, who did it, and when. See "How Do I View the Bank Reconciliation Activity Log?"
