storefront quotes shows all quotes within a single storefront, including yours why does the contact field show different people on different quotes? for shi com created quotes the contact is the quote creator; for quotes published from salescenter the contact is the delivery contact can i edit a quote's line items directly from the quotes page? you can adjust quantities via the add to cart confirmation dialog, which updates the cart; quote editing itself follows existing flows does deleting a quote also remove it for other users? deleting a quote follows existing permissioning and removes the quote per current platform behavior does saving a filter share it with my team? no, these are your own saved filters
