# How do I edit or delete a draft invoice?

> Change an invoice's line items or due date, and delete a draft you no longer need.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Only a **Draft** invoice with **no payments** can be deleted. A sent-but-unpaid invoice can be **cancelled**; once any money has been received, you **issue a refund** instead.
  * **Deleting a draft can't be undone.**
  * Editing is available while an invoice is a **Draft** or still owing (**Unpaid**, **Past due**, or **Overdue**) — but not once any payment lands on it or it's cancelled. Invoices you built by hand are fully editable; one generated from a registration or store order can't be edited.
</Note>

## Edit an invoice

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the editor">
    Go to **Financials → Invoices**, open the row's **⋯** menu (or open the invoice), and choose **Edit invoice**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make your changes">
    Update the recipient, line items, or due date — the totals recalculate as you go. This works for invoices you created by hand. An invoice that came from a program, event, membership, or store registration is locked: it can't be edited, so if the details are wrong, cancel it and create a new one instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save changes** to keep the edits, or **Save & send** to save and email the family the updated invoice. If you edit an already-sent invoice, the family gets the refreshed copy.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Delete a draft

From the **⋯** menu on a **Draft** invoice, choose **Delete** and confirm. This removes the draft entirely — since it was never sent, nothing touches the guardian's balance.

If the invoice has already been sent or has any payment against it, **Delete** isn't offered. To stop a family owing a sent-but-unpaid invoice, cancel it instead — that removes the charge from their balance and leaves a record.
