Marking a transaction as reviewed on the Transactions page helps you ensure all the details of the transaction are verified.
When you import or create a transaction, it's good practice to ensure a category is selected, a sales tax is set, any customer or vendor information is added, and the description is correct. Only the Category field is mandatory to verify the transaction, but make sure you've included everything you need to keep your records accurate.
Think of reviewed transactions as verified transactions, and unreviewed transactions as transactions that still need your attention. Once you've checked that a transaction is correct, you can mark it as reviewed.
Leaving a transaction unreviewed doesn't impact your reports, or the ability to perform bank reconciliation.
