# Edit Mode - Old DPO Design

The **Edit Mode** allows you to make changes to invoice data, even if it is still linked to a purchase order (P.O.). However, **not all fields are editable**. The editability depends on whether the invoice is approved and which parts are linked.

||| **Already using DPO's new design?** [You can find the corresponding article here](https://help.digitalpurchaseorder.com/en/article/edit-mode-in-dpo-st271b/)

### Editing an Invoice and COA

* [The COA can be edited at any time before the invoice is final approved](#1-edit-chart-of-accounts-without-edit-mode)
* To edit all fields or remove the invoice, **unlink the PO first**. For step-by-step instructions, see **“**[Send, Remove & Unlink Approvals](https://digital-purchase-order.crisp.help/en/article/send-remove-unlink-approvals-1pzium7/)**”**
* A P.O. link does not block Edit Mode, but certain item fields remain locked


###### What can you edit in Edit Mode?

**General invoice-level data such as:**
* Total Gross
* Invoice Number
* Supplier IBAN
* Department

**Not editable:** **Line items that are already linked to a purchase order**
* Item Gross
* Taxes
* Item Net/Gross
* Supplier

### Edit Chart of Accounts (without Edit Mode)

If you only want to edit the **Chart of Accounts**, you can do this **without removing the invoice from approval.**

1. Scroll down to the invoice item section and click on **"Click to see more information"** below the invoice item
