Auto Archive Paid invoices
You can now choose to automatically move fully paid invoices to the Archived folder by enabling or disabling the Auto-archive option. You can also manually archive documents whenever needed, giving you more flexibility in managing your invoices.
Since this is a newly released feature, you may notice that some paid invoices have been moved to your active Invoice list.
