Invoice Appearance Overrides

Invoice appearance overrides let you show or hide individual divider lines with a small JSON object. Both lines remain visible by default, so your invoices keep their existing appearance until you choose to change it.

Workspace owners and administrators can edit these settings under Invoices > Configure > Appearance > Invoice appearance overrides.

Hide both divider lines

  1. Open Invoices > Configure > Appearance.
  2. Find Invoice appearance overrides.
  3. Paste this JSON into the editor:
{
  "dividers": {
    "subject": false,
    "amountDue": false
  }
}
  1. Select Save appearance.
  2. Open an invoice preview to check the result. Download a new PDF if you also want to check the PDF version.

This hides the horizontal line immediately above Subject and the line immediately above Amount Due. The subject, amount due, spacing, and other invoice content stay in place. Item-table rules and the Notes separator keep their existing appearance.

Change just one line

Only include the setting you want to change. To hide the line above Subject while leaving the Amount Due line visible:

{"dividers":{"subject":false}}

To hide only the line above Amount Due:

{"dividers":{"amountDue":false}}

If the editor already contains overrides, edit that object to keep any settings you still want. Saving a replacement object also replaces the previous overrides.

Supported settings

JSON setting Default Effect
dividers.subject true Shows the horizontal line immediately above the Subject section. Set to false to hide it.
dividers.amountDue true Shows the horizontal line immediately above Amount Due. Set to false to hide it.

Use the JSON boolean values true and false, without quotation marks. A setting you leave out uses its default. An empty object ({}) or an empty dividers object ({"dividers":{}}) therefore keeps both lines visible. A divider setting does not add a Subject section to an invoice that has no subject.

These are the supported appearance override keys. Other appearance options, such as the logo, paper size, theme, and visible table columns, still use their existing controls on the Appearance page.

Restore the default appearance

To restore both lines:

  1. Select Clear beside Invoice appearance overrides, or delete all the text from that editor.
  2. Select Save appearance.

Clear changes the editor only; save to apply the reset. You can also set either divider to true to show it again while keeping the other override.

Appearance and text use separate editors

Invoice appearance overrides uses the same JSON editing pattern as Invoice text overrides, with a separate set of keys and value types:

  • Use Invoice appearance overrides for the divider settings above, with boolean values.
  • Use Invoice text overrides for labels and default wording, with string values. For example, {"amountDue":"Balance payable"} changes the label.

Keep each object in its own editor. Renaming the Amount Due label does not change the dividers.amountDue key. These settings accept the documented JSON options; they do not accept CSS or HTML.

See Invoice text overrides for the supported label and wording keys.

Where changes apply

Saved appearance overrides apply across the workspace’s invoice previews, public invoice links, browser printouts, and newly generated PDFs. They also affect existing invoices the next time those documents are rendered. They do not apply to estimates.

A PDF you already downloaded or sent as an email attachment stays as it was. Generate a new PDF after saving if you need a copy with the new appearance.

These settings change presentation only. They do not change invoice data, line items, taxes, totals, payments, or payment details.

If the JSON will not save

Check that the editor contains a JSON object and uses the exact key names shown above. Keys need double quotes; boolean values do not. Remove trailing commas and comments.

For example, use {"dividers":{"subject":false}}, rather than {"dividers":{"subject":"false"}}. Unknown keys, strings in place of booleans, null, and arrays are not accepted. Correct the error shown, then select Save appearance again. Your saved settings remain in use until a valid change is saved.
