Hey community, thanks for your continued interest in this idea. Earlier this year we delivered some updates to reports, so that they’ll now show page numbers and date stamps when exported to PDF.

This is an idea that was seeded by the community team when we launched Product Ideas back in 2022.

The Product team has done some great work to address the original request but reading the commentary here, the scope of the idea has grown a bit since then!

We’re confident that this release solves the original request so I’ll be marking this as delivered.

There are additional improvements that have picked up some momentum in the comments: to make the date stamp toggle-able, and to extend the field to include time as well. To be open we don't have plans to progress these specific asks.

    We are an audit firm and it is critical to have this option in order to have a proper audit trail of transaction changes.

    I want my reports to have a time and date stamp. If Xero doesn't do it automatically, then I have to remember to do it manually - and my bit of scribble on the bottom does not look very professional.

    Critical for confirmation and cross checking purposes.

    So we cover ourselves when client change things after we generate the report

    Nothing worse than having to run a report again because you don't know which version in front of you is the most recent / up to date.
    Thank you!

    Looking for this option as well. Could i have an expected date when can this function/feature happen?

    Also looking for this option, seems surprising hasn't been given priority, I am finding it quite frustrating, as when I have two copies of a report I have no idea which is the latest version.

    This has been raised in our office and as we now have more and more people working remotely it is increasingly important to have this kind of audit/governance on the documents being stored in our digital filing system.
    Would appreciate this being given priority.

    showing the date the exported report is created is essential. Surprised that this was missed by the analysts who spec'd the requirements for reporting.
