Thanks for getting involved with this thread, RhondaConatser.

To verify my understanding, do you happen to see any error messages or etc. when trying to perform the steps provided above?

Also, if you're able to provide a screenshot of what you see in QuickBooks Time and QuickBooks Workforce, those would help me better understand what's occurring in those areas.

Initially, you can try checking your browser. It's possible this could have something to do with temporary internet files. Browsing applications store these types of records, but sometimes they can cause issues with certain webpages. You can try clearing cached data and Intuit-specific cookies, then see if it continues occurring afterwards.

You'll also want to confirm you meet each of our system requirements for the platform. When these requirements aren't met, it's possible you may encounter slower times, or issues loading certain things on certain web pages, etc. If you need to update your browser version to a release supported by QuickBooks, you can find detailed steps on the company's website for the browser you're using.

If you've already troubleshot the browser, and confirmed you met each requirement, but you're still unable to perform MichaelaS's steps, you'll want to get in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up the account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.

They can be reached while you're signed in.

Here's how:

Use the Help (?) icon.
Click Contact Us.
Enter a description of your situation in the What can we help you with? field, then hit Let's talk.
Select Start messaging or Get a call.

Be sure to review their support hours so you'll know when agents are available.

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely Tuesday!
