How do you get the laptop version to look the same as the desktop version?

I understand that you want your laptop interface to resemble the QuickBooks Desktop version for a smoother and more seamless workflow, Mccanns.

To assist you accurately, please clarify whether you are referring to transitioning from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) or switching from the QBO web browser version to the QBO desktop app. This information will help me provide precise guidance tailored to your specific situation.

Please note that QBO and QBDT versions are designed separately. This is because each has a different user interface, and the option to change the appearance to make them look the same is not supported.

QBO is available as both a web browser version and a desktop app for Windows and Mac. If you're referring to the QBO desktop app, please note that this option is available exclusively to QBO Advanced subscribers.

To download the QBO desktop app, follow these steps:

1. Click the Gear icon inside your QBO account.
2. Under Your Company, select Get the Desktop app.
3. Choose Download for Windows or Download for Mac, depending on your device.

For a detailed walkthrough on downloading and installing the app, refer to this resource article: Download and use the QBO desktop app.
