Please log in for more thread options You can have the Account sidebar open and be on the investment tab
(portfolio view) at the same time while downloading. Personally, my account
list is too long to see much of what is downloaded so I don't pay attention
to the sidebar until after the download completes. With the new navigation,
the only reason I use the Account sidebar is to display downloaded
transactions.
