In the portal's sidebar, open **Quotes**. The page address ends in `/quotes`. When the company emails you a quote, its button opens that one quote on a secure page, without the summary or your other quotes, with a link at the bottom to sign in and see everything. See [[quote-email]].

## Before you start

- You need to be signed in to the portal. See [[sign-in-to-the-portal]].
- You only see quotes the company has shared with your account. If the page says **Quotes are not available for your account.**, the company has not turned quotes on for you. Contact them.

## Steps

1. Open **Quotes**. The **Your quotes** summary at the top counts your quotes under **Total Quotes**, **Awaiting Response**, **Approved** and **With Expiration**.
2. Find the quote in the list. Each row shows the quote number, the total, the **Quote date** and a status such as **Awaiting response** or **Approved**.
3. Select **View** to open a quote in full. Select **Hide** to fold it back up. When you have only one quote, it is always open.
4. To print or save a copy, select **PDF** at the top of the quote. The printable quote opens in a new tab and matches the copy the company emailed you.

## What you see

An open quote reads like the paper version:

- The company's name and logo, the quote number, the **Quote date** and **Valid until** dates, and your billing and service address.
- **Quote total**, with the status under it once you have answered or can no longer answer.
- The line items, then **Subtotal**, any **Discounts** or **Fees**, tax and **Total**.
- **Payment schedule**, when the company asks for a deposit or staged payments. Each line says how much is due and when.
- **Quote note** for anything the company wrote to you, and **Your note** for what you wrote back when you answered.
- **Purchase order**, if you added a PO number when you approved.

While a quote is waiting on you, the buttons **Approve quote**, **Request changes** and **Decline** sit beside the total. See [[approve-or-decline-a-quote]].

## If something looks different

- **No quotes yet.**: the company has not sent you a quote. It appears here as soon as they do.
- **Expired** or **Canceled** (the quote says it was withdrawn): you can still read the quote, but you can no longer answer it. Contact the company for a fresh one.
- **Invoice created**: the company has turned your approved quote into an invoice. See [[see-and-download-an-invoice]].
- **Replaced by a newer quote**: the company sent a revised version. Look for the newer quote in the list before doing anything else.
- **PDF** is missing: the company has not allowed downloads for your account.
