To perform maintenance on a Working Papers file:

Select the maintenance routines that you want to perform.
Routine Description Remove All Unused Accounts Removes all accounts that have no opening balance, no activity, no current or prior balances, no budget or forecast numbers, and no transactions or adjusting entries.
Manage Document Links Deletes files found in the client directory, but not in the Document Manager, and/or copy externally-linked documents into the client directory. All .doc, .xls, .pdf, .txt, .tiff, .ppt, .jpg, and .mdb files found in the client directory are displayed and can be deleted.
Push To Cloud Pushes the engagement data of the current file to its entity on Caseware Cloud. Delete Milestones Deletes all milestones from the specified categories. Deleting milestones can greatly reduce file size.
