Hi everyone,
We completely agree that invoice numbering and visibility—even for deleted or draft invoices—is critical for audit integrity and financial traceability.
That’s exactly why we built Control-C.
✅ Control-C captures and versions every invoice in your Xero account—including drafts, deleted invoices, and those edited after approval.
✅ We preserve the original invoice state before any changes, giving you a full audit trail and immutable records.
✅ Our daily versioning (and soon near real-time capture) ensures that no invoice is lost, overwritten, or untraceable—even if it was deleted or edited in Xero.Xero’s current invoicing model doesn’t retain historical versions or allow users to view deleted drafts. This creates gaps in audit readiness and compliance, especially when invoice numbers are reused or skipped. See the attached screenshots.
With Control-C, you can:
- Track every invoice number, even if the invoice was deleted before approval
- Retrieve the original version of any invoice, regardless of edits
- Maintain a complete audit trail for compliance and peace of mind📌 If you’re serious about protecting your financial records and ensuring audit transparency, we’d love to help.

Hi @Ryan Switzer,
We completely understand your frustration—deleting an invoice in Xero and losing all visibility into its history is a real concern, especially when it comes to audit integrity and compliance.
That’s exactly why we built Control-C.
✅ Control-C captures every invoice version—including drafts, approved invoices, edits, and yes, even deleted invoices.
✅ We preserve the full invoice content before deletion, so you can always retrieve what was lost—even if it’s no longer visible in Xero.
✅ Our immutable backups mean you can view, export, and audit any invoice as it existed on any day, giving you peace of mind that nothing is ever truly gone.
In your case, where the invoice was deleted and you needed to reference it later, Control-C would have retained the last known version of that invoice, including its line items, contact details, and status. You could have pulled it up instantly—even if it was deleted in Xero. See the attached screenshots.
We’re also rolling out near real-time versioning, so changes and deletions are captured within minutes, not just daily.
If you’re using Xero and want to ensure your financial records are complete, compliant, and audit-ready, Control-C is here to help.
