fix: Refresh invoice management How-To guide
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We now show how to change the email address of an account in the
guide regarding account data, so we remove the corresponding
section from the invoice management guide. While at it, we adopt
the one sentence per line policy, use Font Awesome codes for
referring to UI icons, and introduce minor changes in the prose.

## Changing your invoice email address

Finally, you may change the email address for receiving invoices. At
the right-hand side of the dashboard, click the user icon at the top
of the page. A pane titled _Account settings_ will slide over.

There are three tabs in that pane:

* _Customer Info_,
* _Contact_,
* _Settings_.

Click the middle one, _Contact_. If there is only one email address, it
will have all available roles activated --- including the _Billing_
role.

Add a new email address to receive future invoices in a different email.
Then, make sure the _Billing_ role is deactivated for the old email
address and activated for the new one.
