Homepage | Invoices owed to you widget - Move new invoice button to top
The "Invoices owed to you" widget NEEDS to have the "new invoice" button on top as before. What do we do with XERO besides accounting? Create invoices, and having to scroll down this widget is useless as ...... (fill in the blank). It's a very simple display change.
11 votesAppreciate you raising this with us here, Fred.
This is something we're monitoring feedback of and would be good to hear from others on your idea here that'd also appreciate this option further up the widget.
As another simple way of creating an invoice there's the keyboard shortcut '/i' that'll open Search with an option to create 'New invoice'.

Homepage - VAT & Corp tax running total
At a glance, a running total of VAT and Corporation tax due. As a small business, this would be very helpful for planning. Crunch Accounting had this on their homepage and it is the only thing i miss about their very clunky system!
29 votesHi Lyn, thanks for adding your feedback on our prototype for the new Xero homepage in regards to running totals for VAT/GST/BAS and Corporation/AU/NZ Tax, this is incredibly valuable to the team as they make the refinements.
We know this addition would help you keep a closer eye on your business's financial health. We appreciate your continued feedback on the prototype homepage and encourage you to leave more feedback for us.

Homepage | Invoices owed to you - list of outstanding
I would rather have a list of outstanding invoices (names and amounts) on the dashboard instead of a graph with the totals owed. (same layout as the recently paid invoices list which i have removed completely as its not necessary)
5 votesThanks for he feedback here, team. Atm we don't have any plans for surfacing your outstanding invoices as a list within the widget, however we appreciate feedback we've received around the graph and our team are working on some sizing updates that would enable you to remove the graph on both the Invoices owed to you and Bills to pay widgets. You can stay updated on this work through the idea here.

Dashboard - Quick Access Widget for Favourite Reports
Hi. Could we have a widget which provides shortcuts to the reports we've added as favourites, please?
9 votesHi Terry, it's great to hear your idea on how to make the dashboard work harder for you! Having your key reports front and center would make it more accessible.
Right now, jumping into the full reports menu multiple times a day can feel a bit repetitive, especially when you rely on certain custom reports.
For now, you can use the “Starring” feature in the Reports center. Star your favourites and they’ll appear at the top of the Reporting menu for quicker access. Some users also find it handy to bookmark report URLs in their browser for instant access.
This idea is now Gaining Support, so the product team can see how much interest there is in more dashboard customisation.

Dashboard - Files Widget to allow drag and drop
A widget for the Files section that you can drag/drop into without having to click top left, then Files.
8 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate your suggestion for a Files widget on the dashboard with drag and drop functionality.
The community team has reviewed this and moved it to Gaining support, which means it's now open for community votes and comments.

Homepage - Cash In & Cash Out - differentiate P&L items or Balance Sheet Items.
The Cash In & Cash Out tab could benefit from the ability to determine if the cash in OR cash out is from P&L items or Balance Sheet Items.
For instance if a large cash injection occurred from the director you'd have a large cash in, which wouldnt match the profit. In contrast, a payment of liabilities for tax/gst may impact cash flow and skew the results for cash out.
The suggestion would be for a stacked/filtered view on the IN and the OUT bars, to either display the stacked cash in (on top of each other), for P&L and…

Homepage - Add quick access links for most important features
A couple of customisable quick buttons to take you to your most frequest pages eg. invoices / purchase orders / timesheets
7 votesHi Ian, thanks for your feedback. We don't have plans to enable the ability to add quick access options directly to the homepage but we'll see the support your idea gets here in community.
For the time being, you may find the keyboard shortcuts that are available handy in quickly navigating where you need. 🙂

Homepage | Payroll widget for employee leave requests
Hi, on the new dashboard, I don't get or can't see an option for staff leave/holiday requests. It doesn't come up on the task lists either. I feel this might be an oversight, but this could easily be missed.
6 votesHi everyone, thanks for the suggestion—it’s clear that having a Leave Requests widget on the dashboard would make it much easier to see upcoming time off at a glance. We can see how this quick visibility would help managers plan staffing and stay on top of pay runs without extra navigation.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product teams how much value a dedicated homepage summary would bring to managers and business owners.

Homepage | Bills to pay - Ability to drag & drop files for bills
Provide a widget where you can drop any bill, expense or invoice, right on the homepage for Xero to analyse.
8 votesHi Tom and John, not a direct drag & drop to a widget on the homepage, however from the 'Bills to pay' widget you can click Add bill > Upload bills which will direct you to Bills and pre-open the upload modal. 🙂
This isn't something we have direct plans of right now, but will get a feel of the interest from the community for the idea here.
It'd be good to track interest in this feature for Bills and Expenses separately as widget enhancements would typically be reviewed individually. I've created a new idea for this in Expenses and added you both to this for any updates.

Homepage - Improve loading
Create a "low bandwidth" version this is now so much slower than the old page on slow internet connections 271 resource requests is just stupid for a home page and 1=nearly 50mb of resources? not everyone has fiber to the building and a 250mb/s connection.
5 votesHi Geoffery, thanks for sharing this! We can see how a smoother experience on slower connections would make working in Xero more seamless, especially when you’re remote or have limited internet.
Right now, using the Xero mobile app for lighter tasks or clearing your browser cache can help speed things up, but we know a dedicated low-bandwidth mode would make day-to-day work even easier.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product teams how much of a difference this would make.

Homepage | Bank account wdget - Showing reconciled when there are items to reconcile
The new layout is harder to follow multiple bank accounts and its says "reconciled" when you still have items to reconcile which is confusing. You need to look for the green reconcile button and ignore the word reconciled.
5 votesHi team, we appreciate the feedback on the bank account widget here and I have made sure this is shared back with our product team. As soon as I have any updates I will let you know here. Thanks

Homepage - Easily view over 50 bank accounts
Today I learned with shock that the new dashboard only supports 50 bank accounts for display. Unfortunately, we have more accounts which on the new dashboard layout will not be shown. That is not good for our organisation. The workaround via the "list of accounts" is cumbersome and definitely not an improvement.
If more than 50 bank accounts cannot be displayed on the dashboard or "Home" page, would it be possible to have FOLDERS on the dashboard like folders on a PC desktop or on a smartphone? Then I could allocate around 10 bank accounts into one folder according to…
5 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on viewing more than 50 bank accounts on the homepage. We appreciate you explaining how important this is for organisations managing larger numbers of accounts.

Homepage - Profit & Loss - simplified view of last 3 months
A widget to show a simplified/high-level summary of profit and loss for the last 3 months, at a glance
Turnover/sales
Direct costs
Gross Profit
Salaries
Overheads
Net profit / PBTThis would be really helpful for quick reference and reporting key financial measures

New Homepage - Formatting options in widgets
I wanted to share some thoughts on the latest Xero homepage redesign after seeing a comment that really resonated with me about how much space the widgets are now taking up and how much more cluttered it is now. From a web design point of view, it’s just not intuitive, it’s cluttered and feels way too full, especially compared to the previous version where the widgets sat nicely in the centre and only took up maybe 50% of the page.
I genuinely believe the homepage experience could be dramatically improved with just a few changes:
Simplify the default data shown…
4 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this – especially your thoughts on the Cash in and Cash out view. ✨
We really appreciate the idea of simpler default data in widgets and having more control over how information is displayed (for example, being able to focus on a clean chart with the details only appearing on hover). Feedback like this is exactly what helps us understand how people actually use the homepage and what feels clear vs overwhelming.
While I can’t promise specific changes or timelines, your suggestion aligns with the kind of improvements we consider when we review and refine the homepage experience. I’ve passed this on to our product team so your comments can be included alongside similar feedback from other customers.
Thanks again for helping us make Xero better – ideas like yours are really valuable in shaping where we focus next.

New Homepage - Ability to hide accounts that are no longer needed
Of the seven accounts listed on my homepage, only 3 are now required. Please provide the functionality to hide / remove accounts which are no longer valid and reconfigure the layout to suit a user's individual needs. i.e. by click and dragging the boxes into your own preferred layout.
3 votesThanks for sharing this idea and how the new homepage impacts your workflow.
Right now, you can:
- Use Customise homepage to add or remove whole widgets (including Bank accounts and Chart of accounts watchlist), and
- Choose which bank accounts appear in the Bank accounts widget, and which GL accounts appear in the Chart of accounts watchlist via Select/Edit accounts.
There isn’t a broader option to hide individual GL accounts across the homepage, and this isn’t on our current roadmap, so we’re moving this idea to Gaining support so others can vote and add their use cases.
While we can’t commit to a change here right now, your feedback is logged and will be considered as we continue to iterate on the new homepage experience.

Homepage - Organize and order of bank accounts to mirror in the bank accounts page
Order of Bank Accounts used to be based on the way they were organized from the Bank Accounts page, and then each user could rearrange their Homepage widgets. Now this sorting doesn't seem to impact the way the Homepage is sorted.
AND, if new accounts are added, not only does the old Bank Accounts page order have anything to do with the new Homepage, but new accounts are not automatically added to the dashboard. You have to:
1) Edit Homepage
2) Add Widget
3) Toggle the New Bank Accounts on to Show on the Homepage
4) Save
5) Scroll down…5 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

New Homepage - Task list include bank Feed status warnings
Task List - Add "Refresh/Renew Bank Feed" warnings to the task list (limited to banks shown on the dashboard to prevent unnecessary warnings on old accounts). The task list is incredibly useful and for my own Homepage, I have moved the bank accounts to below the rest of the tables to try to maximise the usefulness of the homepage. This makes the warnings less visible.

New Homepage - Ability to add custom widget
Customisation of widget request, ie Add New Widget >> Select certain costs >> Select certain incomes. Show chart month by month.
3 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us.
Right now, the new Xero homepage doesn’t support creating your own fully custom widgets. You can customise which of the existing widgets you see, change their order and (for some widgets) adjust their size, but there isn’t a way to build and plug in a brand‑new widget type yet.
We have moved this to Gaining support, while we can’t promise if or when custom widgets will be available, votes and comments on this idea are really valuable, so please keep adding any specific examples of what you’d like a custom widget to do. That kind of detail really helps our product team when they’re exploring what to build next.
