Managing your cryptocurrency is easier when you can see a clear history of all your transactions. The BitBoxApp allows you to not only view your past transactions directly in the app but also export them as a CSV file for your personal records or for tax preparation.
How to view your transaction history
To see the transaction history for a specific cryptocurrency, simply select it from the account list in the left sidebar. You will see the account's total balance at the top of the screen and a complete list of your past transactions below it.
How to export your transaction history
Exporting your history is useful for tracking your portfolio or for use in other applications. Follow these steps to export your transactions as a CSV file.
- Open the BitBoxApp.
- In the left sidebar, select the cryptocurrency account whose history you want to export.
- On the transaction overview screen, click the Export button located in the top-right corner.
- A dialog box will open, prompting you to choose where to save the file. Select a folder on your computer and save the CSV file.
