This is really important and would save so much time from a review perspective, as well as improve the quality of the overall product.

Taking it one step further might be to have the workpapers automatically presented in the same order as the Notes to the accounts, with "Note totals" that can be expanded to see the detail $ balance of all accounts included in that note. ie if all Notes were "expanded", the workpaper home page would show the entire Trial Balance. Condensed, the Workpaper home page would reflect the $ per the Balance Sheet in Xero
