After you customize the financial statements, you need to initiate a database build for your changes to take effect.

When you are finished customizing a financial statement and click **Close** in the **Statements** window, click **Yes** to initiate the rebuild, as illustrated in the image below.

The database rebuild might take some time, depending on the size of your database. Keep an eye on the [database status](https://app.gitbook.com/s/7pj8v25BOyqZTdG5mdD1/getting-started/databases#databases-databasestatus) - when the dot is blue, the database is being rebuilt and when it is green, the rebuild is complete.

When the rebuild is complete, a success message displays. Click **Yes** to refresh the page and see the changes you made. Other users will see the changes too.
