Moving to a new plan

More about the new plans

: Once you move a client to a new plan, the previous plan will no longer be available. If a client is moved to a plan that doesn't include the functionality of an add-on that was previously in use, access to the data associated with the add-on will be lost. The data will be archived, so if you need access to it, you can upgrade to a plan that includes that functionality. As an example, if you wish to retain or restore access to Xero Projects data, you’ll need to subscribe to the Ultimate plan, where Xero Projects is included. Note that we highly recommend you download add-on data before moving plans.
