Brand Templates - Interactive
Ability to create invoice templates interactively via Xero rather than through a word (.Docx) file.
This would allow ease when creating invoice templates for myself as well as clients

Yes, I was horrified to find that Xero has Zero graphical template editors. Our 20 year old version of QuickBooks had one, it was a little painful, but it worked fine, and what you saw was what you got. I feel like its the late 1980s again, trying to create a professional template with lines of code and no preview.
On top of that, there isn't even a 'preview' function any more in the template editor. So you're completely in the dark to see what effects your edit have made until you create a dummy invoice.
Then when you search for help, everyone is complaining that the preview doesn't even match what goes into the pdf !I also love the thought police deciding to call them 'branding themes' rather than templates. If they had any clue about branding, you wouldn't get the message "Your image will be scaled to a maximum of 400 pixels wide and 120 pixels high" when uploading a logo. Anything larger than a postage stamp will look grainy as all getout.
There's also Zero support for vector images.
