## Post-Approval Buttons

Once an invoice is approved, three additional buttons become available:

* **Edit** -- Makes the invoice editable again so you can add new lines or adjust existing details. Click **Save** when finished.
* **Void** -- Cancels the invoice. You will need to confirm this action.
* **Mark as Paid** -- Updates the invoice status to **Paid** when payment is received.

<Tip>You can edit an invoice even after approval by clicking the **Edit** button. Always save your changes when finished.</Tip>

<Warning>Voiding an invoice is permanent. A confirmation prompt will appear to prevent accidental cancellations.</Warning>
