   • Add my selected product’s cost account to the shared cost account list
   • Discard my product's cost account list
5. If you selected Add, you must select an option for handling duplicates.
   • Update the shared cost account (any updates that create duplicate account names or codes will be ignored)
   • Don’t update the shared cost account
6. At any time, you may export either your product’s current cost account list or the shared cost account list by clicking Save a Backup.
7. Click on Export a Preview to see what your new shared account list will look like after you’ve added your product. A file will be downloaded for viewing.
