Every time I create a new invoice (new style) the side menu pops up that shows where it be edited such as customization, payment options, design and automation.  Is there a way to stop this from popping up with each new invoice or is this just standard for the new style invoice?

The company is constantly seeking ways to improve its products, @yorkiemom2.

 

Currently, stopping the pop-up where you can edit the transaction in the invoice new experience is unavailable. This is part of the update to let customers know they can customize their sales forms anytime. To temporarily remove the window, I'd suggest clicking the Close →.


I understand how inconvenient it is to be unable to stop the customization window. I'd recommend sending feedback to our product engineers. They can review your suggestions and consider adding them to future releases. 

 

Go as follows:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon on the upper right-hand. 
  2. Select the Feedback button. 
  3. Type your suggestions in the field and click Next

 

Rest assured that they're constantly working to improve the product and give all QuickBooks users the best possible experience. You can also vote, comment on ideas, and suggest your own by going to this link:

Are they going to give us an option to stop it from popping up? It is very annoying.

The new invoice page, the new menu, everything about the "improved style" is garbage! The sidebar is incredibly irritating and is a pointless waste of space on the page! Surely common sense would say no business owner using Quickbooks needs that sidebar open EVERY TIME a new invoice is opened. IT NEEDS TO GO!

When are Quickbooks going to wake up and realise the best way to keep customers is to LISTEN to what customers actually want and not force stupid pointless updates that make using the product worse. If you REALLY want to improve Quickbooks just spend a few hours reading the forums and follow what your users are literally telling you, its really not that difficult. Failing that please provide an email address or direct phone number to senior management so I can contact them myself.

Agree! This just started happening for me and it’s one more step I don’t need. Turn it off! QuickBooks just keeps increasing prices but doesn’t make the changes the users suggest.
