FAQs

How long will it take to upgrade?

The master account and sub-accounts can each be set to different account modes. For example, the master account could be on Unified Account mode, while the sub-account could remain on Classic Account mode.

You can switch back to the Classic Account mode through the same entry point used for the upgrade.
