Estimates

How do I find and restore a deleted estimate?

Open the Trash tab and restore it; know that deleting also kills the client's link.

You will have brought a deleted estimate back to the Active list.

Before you start

You need the delete permission to restore. Deleting permanently needs the separate purge permission.

Steps

  1. Open Estimates and switch to the Trash tab.
  2. Find the estimate (use Search if the list is long).
  3. Press Restore.

What you will see

The estimate returns to Active with the same number and status.

If something goes wrong

  • While an estimate is in Trash its proposal link stops working: the client can no longer view, accept or decline it. It works again after you restore.
  • Any estimate can be moved to Trash, whatever its status, including converted ones; the invoice made from it is untouched.
  • Delete permanently also removes the lines and cannot be undone.
  • Trashing is not an expiry; a restored estimate keeps its valid-until date and may already be past it.
