The account is view-only

A red "View only" bar means your Yahiv subscription isn't active — the trial ended, a payment failed, or the plan was cancelled. Everything can be seen and downloaded, donations still come in, but changes are paused.

  1. 1

    Read the bar

    "View only: your Yahiv subscription isn't active, so changes are paused. Donations still come in." Owners and Admins see a link to Plan & billing; others see "Ask your account owner to renew."

  2. 2

    Open Plan & billing

    Click the bar or go to Settings → "Plan & billing".

    Your plan and status.
  3. 3

    Payment failed?

    Yahiv tries the card again 3 and 7 days later; after the last try there are 7 days' grace before view-only. Click "Update card" under Card on file — the bill is tried again right away.

  4. 4

    Trial ended or cancelled

    Contact Yahiv to set up your plan. Changes work again right away once it's active.

  5. 5

    Need your data meanwhile?

    Downloads keep working. Settings → Backups → "Download everything now (Excel)".

    All your data in one Excel file.

Tips

  • Nothing is deleted while the account is view-only.
  • Recurring gifts and online giving keep working.

If something isn't working

"Online plan checkout isn't switched on for this server yet."

Contact Yahiv to activate your plan.

I paid but it's still view-only.

Refresh the page after a minute. If it stays, contact Yahiv support with the receipt.

Still stuck after all these checks?

Press the help button and ask Yahiv, or write to Yahiv support with what you tried and a screenshot. Nobody minds — that's what support is for.
