# Latest vs Legacy

Our documentation has been revised to cater to the introduction of a new, improved account structure. This update comes with several key changes and enhancements aimed at providing our clients with a more flexible and comprehensive service. Here's what's new:

1. **Multi-Account Capability**: Unlike the previous limitation of a single account per company profile, clients can now request multiple accounts to better manage their business operations.
2. **Account Types**: We have introduced two distinct account types:
   * **Cash Account**: Standard account for managing cash transactions.
   * **Credit Account**: Offers a trade credit facility with a limit specified in USD, subject to a maximum lending amount per currency. Approval is required to access this facility.

Future features and enhancements will be available exclusively for these new account types.

### Determining Which Documentation Version to Use

To ensure you're using the correct documentation version for your account type, please follow this guide:

**Via the Aquanow Customer Trading Portal:**

* After logging into the client trading portal, check the dashboard page for your "Account Type."
  * If it displays **Legacy Account**, use the **Legacy** documentation version. (Note: This feature is currently in staging and set to go live on April 23, 2024.)
  * If it displays either **Cash Account** or **Credit Account**, the **Latest** documentation applies.
* Additionally, the presence of an account ID on the Dashboard or within the Transaction and Trade History sections can guide you:
  * No account ID or populated account ID columns in Transaction and Trade History indicate the **Legacy** documentation should be used. Otherwise, refer to the **Latest** documentation.

**Using APIs:**

* If your transactions and orders process successfully **without** specifying an `accountId` parameter, your operations are based on the **Legacy** system.
* Transactions requiring an `accountId` parameter use the **Latest** system.

We believe these updates will greatly enhance your trading experience with us and look forward to your feedback as we continue to improve our services.
