Select the edit / pencil icon to open up the item editor where you can manage the quantity, price, add discounts or up-charges, adjust the taxes, as well as add internal or client facing notes to the invoice.
The client that this invoice is for, you can view their invoice history as well as jump directly into their client profile
Anything that you add, subtract, edit or modify will create a new revision of the invoice. When multiple revisions are created, you can use the invoice number drop down to return to view previous revisions or jump ahead to view more recent revisions of the invoice.
