You can use [historical balances](/balances/historical-balances) to see what a balance looked like at any point in the past. This is useful for financial reporting, auditing, or analyzing how balances have changed over time. When you use the historical balance feature in Cloud, you can see the exact amount that was in the balance at a specific date and time, along with the credit and debit balances at that moment. Historical balances do not include [inflight](/transactions/inflight) balances. *** ## View historical balance Historical balance does not open a separate page. You stay on the balance details page: `Actions` opens a dialog, then the summary amounts on that same page update to show the past point in time. To view a balance at a specific date and time: From `Balances`, open the balance you want to inspect. You should be on the balance details page (summary, transactions, and metadata). Balance details page showing summary information for a balance In the top-right corner of the balance details page, click `Actions`. Balance details header with the Actions control highlighted In the dropdown, select `View historical balance`. A dialog titled `View historical balance?` opens on top of the balance details page. Actions dropdown with View historical balance selected In the dialog, choose the date and time you want to view the balance at, then click `View balance`.

This is helpful for collaborative analysis or when you need to show specific balance states to colleagues. *** ## Return to current balance After you view a historical balance, you are still on the balance details page (with past amounts shown). To switch back to live amounts: On the same balance details page, click `Actions` in the top-right corner. While you are viewing a historical balance, the menu shows `View current balance` instead of `View historical balance`. Balance details header with the Actions control for returning to current balance Choose `View current balance` from the menu. The page shows live amounts again.
