How to manually record a payment as paid when the file is still in draft mode

Updated over 2 weeks ago

When a client has already paid prior to setting up your smart file, you can keep track of this payment on the file by marking it as paid. You have 2 options to track the payment this way:

  • If the changes you've made are no longer needed, you can delete the current draft, then mark the payment as paid

  • If you want to keep the changes you made to the file, you can mark the payment as paid, then resend the file to your client for their approval


Delete current draft of smart file

If you delete the current draft of the smart file, the changes you made will be lost. If you'd like to keep the changes, follow the steps in Update and share smart file.

  1. Find and open the file that needs to be adjusted

    1. You can use the search bar or go to the project workspace's Files tab

  2. Select the version menu under the file's name
    ​

  3. From here, find the draft version in the "Version history" menu, then select Edit draft
    ​

  4. Select the triple dot icon > Delete draft > Yes, Undo Changes


Update and share smart file

You should resend the updated file only if you want to keep the changes you made.

  1. Mark the payment as paid on the draft file

  2. Select Update & Share

  3. Write the email you want to send to your client (or choose an email template to use)

  4. Your client (and others involved in the project) will receive the updated file with the payment marked as paid
