The invoices page consolidates all of your issued invoices. You can use our advanced filters to narrow down the results or act on a specific invoice from the three-dot menu. For example, resend an invoice or void it.

If you integrated QuickBooks Online with Anchor, you'll be able to see the sync status by hovering the sync icon. Read more about the integration.
