Sharing a quote just got easier. Now, recipients of a shared quote can view the quote within the instant quoting engine. Both senders and recipients are able to create a quote PDF, which now includes taxes and shipping.
Manually quoted projects can be viewed and shared, too. Find them on your personalized dashboard and in your Quotes History.
