# Find and manage your documents

Every document you save is in the **Documents** tab. Switch between **All**, **Quotation**, **Sale Order** and **Invoice**, or search by client name or document number. Tap a document to edit it, share or download its PDF, record a payment on an invoice, or delete it. Swipe one to the left for **Pay** and **Share**.

## What does the Documents list show?

Each row shows the document's number, its type, the client, when it's dated (*Today*, *Yesterday*, *3d ago* or the date) and its total. Invoices also show their payment status: **Unpaid**, the amount still due when partly paid, **Paid**, or [**Overdue**](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/glossary#overdue) once the [due date](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/glossary#due-date) has passed. See [Record a full or partial payment](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/payments/record-a-payment).

More documents load as you scroll, down to "You've reached the end". Pull the list down to refresh it.

## How do I find a document?

- **By type**: tap **Quotation**, **Sale Order** or **Invoice** at the top. **All** shows everything.
- **By search**: type in **Search client or number**. It matches part of the document number, or the client's name, email or [tax ID](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/glossary#tax-id). Your last searches appear as chips under **Recent** when you tap the empty search box; they're kept on this phone only.
- **By payment**: on **Invoice**, tap **Unpaid**, **Partial** or **Paid** to list only those. **All** shows every invoice again.

If nothing matches, the app says so: tap **Clear search** or **Clear filter**.

## How do I sort the list?

Tap the sort icon next to **Select** and choose:

- **Newest first**: the documents you saved most recently at the top. It's the default. It goes by when you saved, so an invoice you back-dated today is at the top.
- **Highest amount**: the largest totals first.

The heading above the list shows the order you chose, such as **NEWEST FIRST**.

## What can I do with a document?

Tap it to open its sheet:

![The sheet for INV-0001: a thumbnail, 156.00 dollars for John Doe today, a Payment row showing 156.00 dollars due, and Edit, Share, Download PDF, View PDF and Delete](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/screenshots/document-detail.webp)

| Action | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| The thumbnail | Shows the document full screen. |
| **Payment** (invoices only) | Records a full or [partial payment](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/glossary#partial-payment). It shows what's due, or **Paid**. |
| **Edit** | Opens the document in the editor. Save to update it: it keeps its number. |
| **Share** | Makes the PDF and opens the share sheet. See [Share an invoice PDF](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/documents/share-an-invoice-pdf). |
| **Download PDF** | Saves the PDF to your phone. |
| **View PDF** | Opens the PDF with its details, **Share PDF** and a download button. |
| **Delete** | Deletes the document, after asking. |

If the editor holds another document with changes you haven't saved, **Edit** asks first: **Clear and open** discards those changes, **Keep editing** takes you back to them.

Swiping a row to the left gives two shortcuts: **Pay**, for an invoice that isn't fully paid, and **Share**.

## How do I delete documents?

To delete one, tap it, then **Delete**. The app asks, for example, **Delete invoice?** with the document's number: tap **Delete**.

To delete several:

1. Tap **Select** at the top, or touch and hold a document.
2. Tap each document to delete, or **Select all**.
3. Tap **Delete** and confirm.

> **Deleting can't be undone**
>
> A deleted document can't be restored from the app, and its number isn't given to another document, so your numbering keeps a gap. Download the PDF first if you need a copy.

## Can I copy a document or turn a quotation into an invoice?

Not in this version: there's no duplicate or convert button. To make a similar document, start a new one. The editor keeps your design, currency, notes and [payment terms](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/glossary#payment-terms) from the last document, and your saved client and products take a tap each to add back. See [Quotation, sale order or invoice: which to send](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/documents/quotation-sale-order-or-invoice).

## What do Draft, Queued and Failed mean on a row?

They're about saving, not about your client:

- **Draft** shows for a moment on a document you've just saved, until your account confirms it.
- **Queued**, **Generating** and **Failed** show on a save that was cut off by a lost connection. It finishes on its own when you're back online. See [Fix common problems in InvoiceStamp](https://docs.invoicestamp.com/account/troubleshooting).
