My way of adjusting values of capital assets is to enter a transaction of the change in value and categorize the transaction as an unrealized capital gain (negative value for decline in value).
Is that a category you created (unrealized capital gain) or pre-defined?
My home is a "Real Estate" asset type.
The other thing I am still trying to wrap my head around is in net worth reports if you choose, lets say a monthly interval, the column will read 1/1/25. If I make the adjustment on 12/31/24 or 1/1/25 it is reflected in the 1/1/25 column. If I record the adjustment 1/2/25 it will show up on the 2/1/25 column. So the end of the month is really the 1st of the next month (maybe there is a preference I am not seeing).

For a maturing bond (T-Bill) how are you entering that into SEE so that the interest is tracked?
Unfortunately, the way brokerages denote these transactions can be completely different. So you are kind of at the mercy of how your brokerage writes the transaction data that you import, unless you manually input all the transactions yourself.
For example, Vanguard creates 2 separate transactions for maturity: a sell transaction at your original purchase price and an interest transaction for the interest you earned. This happens to be really nice and convenient because you just need to search for interest events. (Note: This is an interest transaction and not a dividend transaction.)
But I've found that Fidelity, Schwab, and Wells Fargo provide only a single transaction that looks like a sell at the face value of the T-bill at maturity. So I think you will have to look for Investment Gain/Loss (one of the reports you can do).

I'm manually entering everything. Sounds like the Vanguard example is the way to go?
Yes, although there is an official type called "Return of Capital". I don't know what the intended use case for this is. But maybe instead of the SELL, you could mark that as Return of Capital. But I don't know if this could confuse other reporting in SEE.
