Configure Global Order Draft Edit Mode Settings 

Note

The Order Draft Edit Mode feature is available as of OroCommerce version 6.1.9 and can be enabled globally, per organization, and per website.

The Order Draft Edit Mode feature changes the way orders are edited in the back-office.

When enabled, the system creates a temporary draft version of the order during editing. Changes are stored in the draft until you save the order. The original order remains unchanged until all edits are explicitly saved.

Editing a product line item when the feature is enabled

When disabled, line items are edited inline directly in the order grid. Unsaved changes are lost if the page is reloaded or the browser session is interrupted.

Order Draft Editing Principle 

When you open an order for editing in the back-office:

  • The system creates a draft copy of the order.

  • All changes are applied to the draft instead of the original order.

  • The draft stores all order modifications, including adding new line items, editing or removing the existing one, updating other order details.

  • The original order remains unchanged until you save the entire order.

  • Unused drafts are automatically cleaned up during the next scheduled system cleanup process.

Edit Order Line Items 

Each line item includes its own edit and delete icons, which enable you to manage each line item separately. Once modified, you can save the changes for specific line item. Keep in mind that these changes are still stored only in the draft version of the order until you save the entire order.

When a line item is modified, the system highlights the item in green to indicate that the line item has been changed.

To improve performance when working with large orders, the system displays line items using pagination. Only a limited number of line items are shown on a single page.

If changes are made to a line item that is not currently visible in the displayed list, the system shows a notification with a link to the modified line item preview so that you can quickly navigate to it.

Preserve Draft Changes 

The order draft remains available during the editing session.

If you reload the page, close and reopen the browser unexpectedly, or experience a browser failure, the draft remains available, and you can continue editing later.

Save Changes 

To apply all draft changes to the original order, click Save or Save and Close. Once the order is saved, the system applies all draft changes to the original order, and the draft is removed automatically.
