Things to know
After a customer has signed an estimate, their signature cannot be removed after the items have been invoiced. To undo the signature, you should recreate the estimate to have an identical one without the signature.
If you want to change the Follow Up On date field, edit the estimate, go to the Price Details section, and edit the field.
