New invoicing - Change layout of buttons/options
What's most wrong with the new invoicing template is that the most useful features have been shifted to to the bottom of the layout , so you have to scroll to the bottom to use them. Also the default of approve and send is not the best option , approve would be better ( or perhaps a way to choose that box default would be terrific. Also to attach files , all the way to the bottom we go, thats crazy . also the size of the template is too big , it needs to be more compact its adds to the scrolling required to add lines to the invoice and why was the add 5, 10 or 20 lines removed, that proved to be very helpful ( at least put back the add 5 lines) why because to not have it there at the start of making the invoice ,means due to visual overwhelming of the layout, it seem to have made every invoice line 3 times as big and the length of the invoice 3 times longer . its very slow and time consuming and very unfriendly. I am sure there are improvements and this is most welcome, but why cause everyone to feel so frustrated to offer some badly needed benefits ( I do like the add previous used items and the save and close button...
Honestly, it the visual appeal and effort it takes ( extra clicks taken) o find , action and do , what was so easy in the classic version.
IS anyone actually listening to us the users???. or is it all mandated , if mandated, I think you will lose customers over time, which is a shame, as xero is very functional now and does offer people great choices, value for money is questionable, but as far as features go, it has become one of the leaders. If payroll wasn't so expensive on number of employees ( larger numbers) then I would say Xero was very reasonable generally speaking...

shared this idea
Thanks for feeding back to us here, Mark. I want to assure you our product teams and leadership are very attentive to the feedback we've been receiving from customers on the new invoicing experience and we're committed to improving this.
It helps for each of the points you've raised to be tracked separately so our teams can consider the votes as a factor when prioritising and planning development, as well as keeping the communication clear of the changes we're making.
Many of the things you've shared are being worked on and we have separate ideas for these that I've listed below and welcome you to join and vote for each, if you'd like.
Trying to get a better view of the placement of buttons that you mentioned - would this just be the Attach files option or is there another that you would like to see shifted above, too?
