A recent smaller addition to Blinksale that we haven’t talked about much is Drafts. Previously, when you created an invoice with Blinksale it was a live, calculated invoice from the moment you saved it.

Now, when you create an invoice it is saved as a draft (and invisible to your clients) until you either A) send the invoice, or B) click the “Convert to Open Invoice” from your invoice page. Drafts are denoted with a purple label on your Invoices page, and soon we plan to add a Drafts table to your Dashboard.

Finally, many have asked what the little envelope and green check icons are on your Invoices page. Unsent invoices are marked with the open envelope, while sent (emailed) invoices are marked with the green check. One thing to note: invoices created before our 2.0 update last month will all be marked “unsent” by default as we were not previously storing this data.
