# How to Edit the Backdate Settings

"Transaction Max Backdate Days" is a system-wide setting in Pallet Connect that controls how far back users can date transactions. This setting allows administrators to define the maximum number of days an entry can be backdated, helping ensure accurate record-keeping, while maintaining appropriate flexibility for operational needs.

Once configured, the selected limit applies across the entire system, affecting all users and transaction types. Kindly follow the steps below to update the backdate settings.

1. From the Main Menu \> Settings \> System Settings.
