The anatomy of a MeloDocs document

Every document has the same bones: your header, the client block, numbered line items with mono figures, a totals rail, terms, and a signature block when the type calls for one.

Document number, dates and totals are computed — you never type them. Quote Q-2C4298 stays Q-2C4298 when it becomes a contract, an order and an invoice, so the whole job shares one paper trail.

Each of those bones is a block you can reorder, hide or swap for a denser variant — a table of line items can become a list, terms can collapse to a summary. The layout you settle on becomes your default; the next document starts from it, not from the factory setting.
