From this view, you can navigate to the Invoice Detail (***single*** Invoice Summary) page for a selected invoice, create a PDF for a selected invoice (if enabled), or show a comparative view of two invoices.

#### Scrolling Previous invoices

Use the arrow button at the right to scroll back to earlier previous invoices.

Note that only the previous invoices change. The current invoice is always displayed at the left. On scrolling back, a second arrow button is available to let you return (scroll forward) to more current previous invoices.
