First time posting. Trying to add a 1-time income, but apply it to a specific envelope (like vacation). Is there a way to do this in one step? Or do I just need to add to available and transfer to the specific envelope? TIA for any guidance.

You can! Just do a “Fill from New Income” and assign the money to the envelope you want it to fill. That takes care of both adding and assigning the money in a single step. 👍🏻
