Hello there, dudeman93.

I'm here to help you download bank transactions to QuickBooks.

I understand how convenient to have the side-by-side mode in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). However, that option is unavailable.

For now, you can choose Express and Advanced mode to connect your bank transactions to QuickBooks. I'd encourage directly sending feedback to our Product Development. We always track the requests that we receive from our customers and consider them when prioritizing feature development. 

Here's how:
 

1. Go to the Help menu.
2. Choose Send Feedback Online.
3. Select Product Suggestion.
4. Click the Type of Feedback drop-down menu, then choose Product Suggestion.
5. Select the Product Area, then enter your thoughts and suggestions.
6. Once done, click Send Feedback.
    

If you need a reference for completing your other tasks or answers to frequently asked questions, you can browse a topic from Help Article page.

I'm always here if you need any clarification about the features related to downloading bank transactions. Let me know by leaving a comment below.
