Demo Company - Clear ALL, don't reset, optional data reload and cloning
This idea has been raised again and again but XERO isn't listening!!!
The demo company is a great idea, but it makes no sense to automatically reload all the "duff" data every 30 days.
It's VERY simple to achieve a very useful and flexible feature, by....
1) Be able to clear all the data in the Demo Company
2) Make the 30 day reload of useless data optional
3) Enable cloning of an existing organisation
We need to be able to test imports, features etc. and be able to return the "demo company" to EMPTY and if required to restore the standard demo company data set or Cloning an existing organisation.
PLEASE ACT ON WHAT CUSTOMERS WANT

The caps and the exclamation marks are all very well justified. haha. I am infuriated at the lack of this feature as well, because its so hard to a do a 1 for 1 testing for my client when the demo company is totally IRRELEVANT.
Not to mention I can't even do a demonstration to my client to prove to him that the integration is already tight.
I can only transition to production and cross my fingers.

I would like to be able to retain the demo company data once I have input it to use it as a case study, it is frustrating that it resets every 28 days.

Fully agree this would be much more useful for staff training and development
