edit an invoice you already sent

wrong amount, missing line item, customer asked for a tweak — you can edit any unpaid invoice and re-send. paid and cancelled invoices are locked because they're audit history.

3 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    open the invoice

    find the invoice in your list. open the detail panel and click "edit". the edit option is hidden once an invoice is paid or cancelled.

  2. 2

    change what you need

    you're back in the same form you used to build it. line items, due date, tax, notes — all editable. saving updates the invoice in place; the customer's payment link still works and now reflects the new total.

  3. 3

    (optional) re-send

    if you changed the total, send a fresh email so the customer knows the new amount. open the invoice again, click "send invoice" — it goes out with the updated numbers.

    tip

    for a paid invoice that needs a correction, refund and re-issue. editing a paid invoice would break the books — pawpaw blocks it on purpose.
