# Why does my E-Ticket look different than my archived ticket?

## Archive PDF

A Ticket's **Archive** PDF is made when the ticket is created in the **Scale App** and sent to the portal.&#x20;

The Archive PDF ***does not*** update or change after its initial creation.

## E-Ticket PDF

The **E-Ticket** PDF is created at the same time as the **Archive** PDF, however the **E-Ticket** will update its values based on any changes made to **Orders, Pricing,** and **Customers.**

***

If the **E-Ticket** and the **Archive** have different values from one another, it is because there have been changes made in the portal to something the ticket was referencing: therefore the **E-Ticket** has updated to reflect the changes while the **Archive** has not.
