# Editing invoices

How to edit an existing invoice.

There are restrictions on what you can change on an existing [invoice](/platform/day-to-day/finance/invoicing/invoices.md), as follows:

| Invoice status                  | What can be changed                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Paid or partially paid invoices | Contact and billing details, invoice date and due date, the person the invoice is for. You can also remove lines or, if paid, refund them                                                                     |
| Unpaid invoices                 | Contact and billing details, invoice date and due date, the person the invoice is for. You can also remove or change individual lines, with the exception of lines representing charge relating to contracts. |

‌

After an invoice has been edited, a line is added to the change history below the invoice.‌
