Route: `/{workspaceSlug}/settings/invoice-sender`. For Northwind Studio that is `/northwind/settings/invoice-sender`. This page documents the screen. For how the block reads on a finished invoice, see [Invoice sender details](/invoicing/invoice-sender-details). ## Who can open it The **Invoice sender** item sits under **Content** in the settings sidebar. It appears whenever the **Invoices** app is on, for everyone. | What you want to do | What you need | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | See the current block | Access to the workspace. No capability needed. | | Edit the block | `workspace.updateSettings` – Owner and Admin only | At Northwind Studio, Maya Ellis and Tom Whitfield can edit it. Daniel Okafor, who runs the money surface as Finance, sees it but cannot change it. Editing the sender is **not** an invoicing capability. It is a workspace settings capability, so a Finance user who can create and send invoices still cannot rewrite the block those invoices carry. ### If the page will not open Two different things can stand in the way, and they are not the same. | What you see | Why | What fixes it | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | *Invoices is turned off* | The **Invoices** app is switched off for the workspace. The nav item is gone too. | An Owner or Admin turns it back on in [Settings → Apps](/settings/apps). Nothing recorded is lost while it is off. | | A paywall over the page | Invoicing is a Pro feature and the workspace is on Free. The item stays in the sidebar. | Upgrade in **Settings → Plan & billing**. See [Plans and features](/concepts/plans-and-features). | ## What is on the screen One card, titled **Bill from**. There are no separate fields for name, street, city or tax number. It is a single formatted block you write yourself, so it fits any country's invoice conventions. The helper line under the title reads: *Bold your business name, then add your address, tax id and a contact line. Changes apply to invoices created from now on.* When the block is empty, the editor shows the placeholder *Your business name, address, tax id, email…*. ### The formatting toolbar Eight buttons run along the top of the editor. | Button | What it does | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | **Bold** | Bold the selected text. Use it for your business name. | | **Italic** | Italicise the selected text. | | **Strikethrough** | Strike through the selected text. | | **Heading** | Turn the line into a heading. | | **Bullet list** | Start an unordered list. | | **Numbered list** | Start an ordered list. | | **Quote** | Turn the line into a block quote. | | **Code block** | Turn the block into fixed-width text. | A button lights up when the cursor sits inside text of that kind. There is **no Save button**, and that is deliberate. The block saves when you click away from the editor. A short *Invoice sender updated.* message confirms it. If nothing changed, no save is sent. ## What to put in the block TimeTracker does not require any particular line. Include whatever the people paying you, and your own tax authority, need to see. A common shape is: * Your trading or legal business name, in bold * Street address, city, postcode and country * Your tax or VAT registration number * A billing email address and a phone number * Your company registration number, where your country needs one ## How to set it up Go to **Settings → Invoice sender**. You need `workspace.updateSettings`. Type it on the first line, select it, and click **Bold**. Add your address, tax number and contact line on the lines below. Click anywhere outside the editor. The block saves and you see *Invoice sender updated.* ## How it appears on an invoice The block is printed at the top of the invoice as the "bill from" side, opposite the client you are billing. It shows on the invoice screen in TimeTracker and in the downloaded PDF, with your formatting intact. If you never set a block, invoices fall back to your workspace name on its own. ## Each invoice keeps its own copy **This is the rule to remember.** When an invoice is created, it takes a copy of the sender block as it reads at that moment and keeps it. Editing this screen later never rewrites an invoice that already exists. | When you edit the block | What happens | | ---------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Invoices already created – draft, sent, paid or void | Unchanged. Each keeps the copy it was created with. | | Invoices you create from now on | Carry the new block. | | Editing a draft invoice's lines | The frozen sender copy is left alone. Rebuilding a draft does not refresh it. | An invoice is a legal record of what you told a client. If moving office silently rewrote the address on an invoice you sent in March, the copy the client holds and the copy you hold would no longer match. Freezing the block at creation is what keeps those two the same. ### If you need an issued invoice to show a new address There is no way to refresh the sender on an issued invoice. Void it and create a replacement, which picks up the current block. See [Void an invoice](/invoicing/void-an-invoice). ## Example Northwind Studio moves office in July. She opens **Settings → Invoice sender**, replaces the street address, and clicks away. The block saves. The Bluebird Coffee invoice sent in June still shows the old address, exactly as Ruth Castillo received it. Daniel Okafor creates the July invoice for Harbor Logistics. It shows the new address. ## Read-only and loading states * While the workspace loads, the **Bill from** card shows a placeholder block. * Without `workspace.updateSettings`, the card shows the block as it will print, with no toolbar and no editing. * Without the capability and with no block set, the card reads *No sender set.* ## Errors you may see | Message | Why | What to do | | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- | | Couldn't save the sender. You may lack permission. | You do not hold `workspace.updateSettings` | Ask an Owner or Admin to make the change | ## Common questions No. There is one sender block for the workspace. Every invoice created takes its copy from that one block. No. This block is text and formatting only. That invoice was created before you edited the block, so it keeps its own frozen copy. Create a new invoice to see the change. No. Finance can create, send and get paid for invoices, but editing the sender needs `workspace.updateSettings`, which only Owner and Admin hold. Not here. This block is who the invoice is from. Terms and notes are set on the invoice itself – see [Create an invoice](/invoicing/create-an-invoice). ## Related guides How the bill from block reads on a finished invoice.
