Looks from the video, the NAP Online uses FA v2.3.x.
All these videos are usable for the most part for FA too.
They are very well produced.

Take a backup of the FA before and after the reconciliations and do a diff (http://www.winmerge.org). That will give you a clue to use a different DB username with edit permissions for the affected field(s). This is only a quick 'n' dirty fix that you can revert from after the deed is done.
Re: lock reconciliation edit from journal entry
I’ve run into this issue before in other accounting software, and honestly, it’s kind of a pain not having a built-in lock feature after reconciliation. In FA 2.4, I didn’t see a simple way to lock reconciled transactions without some workaround or tinkering. What I used to do was keep regular backups and track any changes just in case someone went back and edited things, which feels like extra hassle.
