Can I turn off the side menu that pops up every time I make an invoice? It has customization, design, etc, and my invoice is already as I want it, can I disable this?

Hello, @shewhostamps. The sidebar menu you're referring to is designed to help users with customization and design options. I acknowledge that it is crucial for you to totally remove this, as the invoices are already set to your preference.

You can tap the X or Manage button to remove the sidebar menu when you create an invoice. QuickBooks Online doesn't have an option to permanently disable or turn off this feature.

Please see the attached screenshot for a visual guide.
 

Your input and suggestions play a vital role in enhancing our program. I suggest sending them to our product engineers by clicking the Feedback option on the Invoice page. You can refer to the attached sample for guidance.
 

For future reference, once you've received a payment from your customer, you can record it in QuickBooks to mark the invoices as paid.

By sharing your insights with our product engineering team, they can evaluate and potentially implement improvements. All the best, @shewhostamps!
