How do you switch to Multi-User Mode in QuickBooks?

Switching to Multi-User Mode in QuickBooks involves utilizing the feature that allows multiple users to access and work on the company file simultaneously. To enable this mode, you need to select the option specifically designed for the purpose, which is found under the File menu. By choosing the "Switch to Multi-user Mode" option, QuickBooks prepares the company file to allow multiple users to log in at the same time, enhancing collaborative work capabilities and improving productivity.

Other choices may reference related functions or require user setup, but they do not directly facilitate the transition into Multi-User Mode as effectively as the correct choice. For instance, setting up users involves configuring access permissions, while preferences related to Multi-User settings do not initiate the mode. Opening the data file from a remote location implies accessing the company file over a network rather than switching modes. Hence, the correct process for switching to Multi-User Mode is explicitly through the File menu option.
