Demonstration data

Description

Sage 50 Accounts has two extra companies for you to try out features and practice tasks without affecting your live data. You can save and reopen your practice work, or delete it and start again.

The Demonstration Data gives you a sample company with records and transactions you can use. Like Practice data, it’s separate from your live accounts, so anything you post here won’t affect your live data.

NOTE:

You can't back up and restore data from the Demonstration data to your company data.
