# Managing Estimates

{% hint style="success" %}
**Start here:** Use [Search for an Estimate](/support/estimating/managing-estimates/how-to-search-for-an-estimate.md) when you need to quickly find a job, customer, or estimate ID.
{% endhint %}

This section helps you manage estimates after they are created and sent. Review activity, work with sent-version history, find records quickly, export filtered results, and archive estimates without losing reporting access.

## What you can do in Managing Estimates

* Review estimate and invoice activity.
* Restore or download previous estimate versions.
* Search, filter, and export estimate records.
* Archive inactive estimates without losing reporting access.

## In This Section

* [Estimate & Invoice Activity](/support/estimating/managing-estimates/estimate-invoice-activity.md) — Review sends, views, acceptances, payment events, and other activity from the dashboard or sidebar
* [Restore an Estimate](/support/estimating/managing-estimates/how-to-restore-an-estimate.md) — Restore a previously sent estimate snapshot and replace the current version when needed
* [Download a Previous Version](/support/estimating/managing-estimates/how-to-download-a-previous-version-of-an-estimate.md) — Download an earlier sent estimate as a PDF from the activity history
* [Archiving Estimates](/support/estimating/managing-estimates/archiving-an-estimate.md) — Archive estimates to remove them from your active list while keeping them available for reports
* [Search for an Estimate](/support/estimating/managing-estimates/how-to-search-for-an-estimate.md) — Find estimates by contact name, estimate ID, address, value, or advanced search filters
* [Filter & Export Estimates](/support/estimating/managing-estimates/how-to-filter-estimates-and-export.md) — Apply multiple search criteria and export matching estimates to CSV
