Documentation

The following links are to the English HTML editions of the current stable branch documentation. See further down the page for other GnuCash versions, languages, and formats.There are two major GnuCash documentation packages to help users:

The GnuCash Manual is designed to be a quick reference of how to accomplish specific tasks and how to use the features in GnuCash. The Concepts Guide is designed to be an in depth guide to the concepts behind using GnuCash with a tutorial to show how to put those concepts into practice.

Other resources are the English or Deutsch GnuCash wikis.

You can also send an email to the gnucash-user mailing list if you cannot find a satisfactory answer to your question within either the GnuCash Manual or the Tutorial and Concepts Guide. We want feedback from you, it is also through your comments that we know how to improve the documentation. Additionally, you can talk to someone via IRC at irc.gimp.net channel #gnucash about your question.

GnuCash's documentation has been created by its community. See the Documentation Improvement wiki page if you are interested in contributing to this effort.
