The same envelope number can be assigned to multiple people.
You can also assign an envelope number when editing/adding a person from the "Giving" tab in the pop up.
You can edit an existing giving envelope by clicking on "Edit" at the end of a row containing the envelope you want to edit. You can change the number and even reassign it to a different person. Reassigning a giving envelope number does not affect any previously entered transactions.
