- Checks repeated
- Saved PDF deadline, description, total and queue schedule

- Fresh saved-invoice test; recipient independently verified
Fictional review record. A test does not hold the invoice or verify client receipt.
See the recorded product workflowWhat this document helps you record
An invoice post-test change log answers a specific question: which earlier checks are no longer reliable after an edit? A general preview checklist records the first review; this log starts with the tested version and connects each later change to the check it invalidates. A recipient edit and a branding edit require different follow-up evidence.
Record the saved invoice ID, test timestamp, old value, new value and reason. Assign an affected check and retain its completion evidence. A draft test and a saved-invoice test do not necessarily represent the same values. Use the actual stored record for the final review after saving the edits.
The fictional example changes the due date from October 19 to October 21 and fixes a line description without changing the USD 1,380 subtotal. A fresh saved-invoice test confirms the deadline and wording. Test emails go to the account owner, so receiving the test does not prove the client's address is correct or that the client received the invoice.

How to complete the template
Anchor the original test
Save invoice ID, test type, timestamp and inspected PDF reference. Record which values were actually checked rather than labeling the whole invoice approved.
Map each edit to affected checks
Record before/after values and supporting authority. Date changes affect the deadline and schedule review; line changes affect scope and totals; recipient changes need independent address verification.
Check the saved result before processing
Save the edits, run the relevant saved-invoice test and retain the new reference. Inspect status and schedule because testing does not pause automatic delivery.

Avoid this
Keeping a stale test beside a new invoice
A successful test from before the edit does not establish the new saved PDF or recipient values.
Avoid this
Marking a test as client delivery
Tests go to your account email. Confirm live delivery status separately; an account-owner test is not a client receipt.

Questions people usually have before changing the workflow.
Must every small edit repeat every check?
Repeat the checks affected by the edit and inspect the overall saved record. Use a fresh saved-invoice test when PDF or email content changes.
Can a Processing invoice be edited?
Current editing is available for Pending or Failed invoices. Complete edits and review before Processing begins; investigate later states rather than assuming another test will delay delivery.
Does the log create version control in InvoiceAgent?
No. It is an external review trail. Retain the actual test evidence and product results alongside it.
