Customize the print format to suit your specific needs. For example, you can rearrange the order of details: set the invoice number as the first detail, seller details as the second, invoice date as the third, and buyer JSON as the fourth. This flexibility ensures your invoices align with your business preferences.

Move to the **roles** settings. This feature allows you to assign specific roles to users in the user access settings.
