Thanks @Rubielyn_J.  That is what I am understanding as well.  This is the first I am hearing that there are future plans to remove the feature completely.  I was hoping it would get moved labs into a core feature, but sounds like it is going the opposite direction and moving out of labs and disappearing completely :(

Unfortunately, the current customization options for invoices don't meet our needs because we need to hide the subtotal, tax, shipping, etc from the footer and just show the Balance Due.  We are also looking to hide the "T" from the table items if they are taxable.  From what I can gather this could have been possible with the "Import styles" feature.  

As you mentioned, without the "Import styles" feature, we are going to have to look at 3rd party apps to support our needs.  Which unfortunately means invoices in QBO are pretty useless for us.

Thanks for your help though.  Sad that QBO is slowly drifting away from our needs.  As we have to subscribe to other tools to make up the gaps in QBO, its gets harder to justify paying for QBO when we can only use it for a sliver of what it is intended to be capable of.
