Hi  
Have just started using Sharesight so still finding my feet. In the last couple od days several unconfirmed transactions have appeared next to my holdings. when I delve into them they appear to be dividends received but for a future date, even though they appear to have been added to my gains. Am I suuposed to leave them there and await confirmation on dividends received then confirm them? In my case I will be using the DRP so can I change the option in settings to automatic for DIP and it will sort it out istself ? Thanks Rob

Hi @clappo you should check the unconfirmed transactions with your dividend records before confirming them. You might find this help page about [Automatically generated dividends and adjustments](https://help.sharesight.com/au/automatically-generated-dividends-and-adjustments/) helpful on this one.  
As for the DRPs, you can set them up in Sharesight. Read our help page ‘[Track dividend reinvestments](https://help.sharesight.com/au/drp/)’ for further instructions.
