  7. Click Open in read-only.
  8. The file can’t be modified in Read-only mode and you can only lookup data.
  9. If you need to print a new invoice, receipt or cheque in a rush, see I need to post and print a transaction immediately, but Sage 50 only lets me in read-only mode.
  10. If you need to have your data re-shared to replace the original cloud copy, contact Customer Support.
