# Post or undo a reviewed restriction release

Upload evidence, post a release for a selected fund, and retain a reviewed undo when needed.

Canonical: https://demo.qixcount.com/help/nonprofit/release-restrictions

Who can do this: Owners, or people with *View donor restrictions* and *Review and release donor restrictions*

Where: Nonprofit, then Donor restrictions

You'll need: Posting readiness, an active restriction and fund, supporting evidence and a reason; enough retained restricted balance at and after the release date

Post a reviewed release from one donor restriction in one fund. You need **View donor restrictions** and **Review and release donor restrictions**, approved mappings, and an active Operating fund. The restriction and selected fund must be active. QixCount records your signed-in identity as reviewer.

## Release funds

1. Under **Nonprofit**, select **Restrictions**.
2. Select the restriction to open its record.
3. Select **Release funds** to open the panel.
4. Enter **Date**.
5. Select **Fund**; each option shows today's remaining amount.
6. Enter **Amount**.
7. Enter **Why this is released**, up to 5,000 characters.
8. Select **Add supporting file** and wait for its filename.
9. For a purpose restriction, confirm your review that the donor's purpose is met.
10. Select **Post release**.

A time-only restriction has no purpose checkbox. Time terms block release before the end date. QixCount checks the chosen fund's balance at the release date and later posted dates. Today's displayed amount does not guarantee availability on another date. Closed periods can also block posting.

Release amounts can be up to $9,999,999,999,999.99, subject to the selected fund's available restricted balance.

Each release or undo needs 1–50 PDF, JPG, JPEG, or PNG files up to 10 MB each. Missing evidence or a required attestation keeps posting disabled with a reason. Validation errors reopen the panel with your entries.

## Undo a release

1. Find the release under **Releases**.
2. Select **Undo** on its row.
3. Enter **Why are you undoing this?**, up to 5,000 characters.
4. Select **Add supporting file** and wait for its filename.
5. Select **Post undo**.

## What happens next

A release moves the amount from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions, in the same fund and with the source coding. Cash does not move. See the [coding glossary](https://demo.qixcount.com/help/getting-started/glossary#nonprofit-coding).

An undo posts a reversing entry dated today or the original release date if later. The original release, review, evidence, and undo remain listed. Journal links require journal viewing permission. Neither action transfers money through your bank.
