- Sent: You sent the invoice via email from QuickBooks.
- Viewed: Your customer received and opened the invoice. You'll only see this status if you’re connected to the internet. You may not see it if your customer’s email doesn't allow images to download automatically.

Easy upgrade
IIF import
Your imported data is accurate when you use the enhanced IIF import. QuickBooks checks your data before you import it. It creates a report of issues found and the fixes. Learn how to export or import IIF files.
Accessibility enhancements
QuickBooks provides better access for the visually impaired in partnership with Job Access With Speech (JAWS). We announce window titles and fields as users hover or select them. Links are converted to buttons for easier access for the user. Learn about Accessibility and Intuit products.
Note: This improved feature is only available to users who have JAWS installed on their devices and automatically works with QuickBooks.
Data file optimization
Condense your company file with the improved Data File Optimization. You donât have to delete list elements or summarize transactions. Your file size reduces because it only removes the Audit Trail. This makes up a large percentage of your file size.
Move QuickBooks to another computer
Move your QuickBooks program and your company files to a new computer easily. All you need is:
- The old computer
- The new computer which should be connected to the internet
- An external USB flash drive with enough space for the company file
