New Homepage - Widget refresh button disappearing
If you're going to make us refresh every widget manually, don't remove the refresh button when we do. Let's leave it there in case we need to refresh again! We now have to refresh the whole page in order to have the widget refresh buttons return. How ridiculous

Homepage - Ability to color code the cards
Suggestion: please allow us to color code the cards. This would help visually organize things. For example, bank accts one color, Invoices and Bills another, analysis another color.
4 votesThanks for your suggestion, Karin. Appreciate there are different ways customers find the homepage would work best for them.
We'll track the interest in being able to colour code cards from your idea here. This isn't something we have plans for atm, but I'll be sure to share if there are any updates.

Homepage | Invoice owed to you widget - Increase font of 'Drafts'
Please make Draft Invoices in a much larger font and at the top of the widget. The widget is ridiculously large and Draft Invoice link is in microscopic font, lost at the bottom. You have to actively hunt for it. Please don't tell me I can rearrange my home page. I've done that. It makes no difference. This is another unhelpful change forced upon us.
3 votesHi Lou, a little round about to what you're asking here but our teams are working on an improvement to the sizing of some widgets that I believe will help with the feedback you've shared.
We're building smaller size of the Invoices owed to you widget which will feature the drafts option beside the graph so it's more visible. 🙂 I'll come back and let you know once this is released.

Homepage - Automatically update the Widgets
Automatically update the Widgets on the New Homepage instead of refreshing each one individually. This will significantly save time and ensure up to date accuracy
23 votesHi team, we appreciate the feedback we've received around the need to manually refresh widgets on the homepage for organisations with higher volumes of data.
Our product teams have been paying close attention and monitoring usage and we have recently released an update that will improve the experience for these larger organisations - Reducing the automatic update from 24 hours to 1 hour. Meaning your data is more recent and up to date, and saving you from having to manually refresh as often. 🙂
To reconfirm the rationale and how this works - To help the homepage load efficiently, some widgets in these organisations show data from the last 1 hour by default.
- These widgets are designed to automatically update with the latest figures from the last 1 hour when you log in.
- If you need to see the most up-to-date numbers in-between the 1-hourly automatic updates, simply click the…

Home page | Profit or Loss widget - Independent toggle for accounting basis
Please derive the Home page Profit and Loss accounting basis from the business setup setting i.e. cash or Accrual.
This issue has been raised before and closed by a naive XERO person with no understanding of how a USER thikns or expects to use the system.
The request by the user is not "existing functionality" as stated by the incorrect Xero staff. Being instructed to leave the homepage, go the the Dashboard (some of us dont need to use those), changing a setting in a Dashboard widget and then come back to the Homepage is not a helpful instruction.
FYI…
2 votesHi Michael, appreciate you re-raising this idea with us and would like to provide some clarification on how Profit or loss widget accounting basis is currently derived.
This is driven by the organisations Report preferences - Report preferences can only be set and changed by a user with the Adviser role in the organisation so if you do not have this permission you would need to contact another user who does.
Understand there is also the request for having an independent toggle that can be actioned from the Homepage and we will continue tracing interest for this here.
In terms of how the idea forums statuses work - When a post is moved to Existing functionality, or Feedback comments and votes are turned off however if you disagree or would like to provide feedback about the response there is an option within the email update you'll have received so you…

Homepage | Tasks - Add quotes to follow up
on the home page, under Tab For Tasks - have one of the tasks showing Quotes that need to be followed up , like after 1 weeks
1 voteThanks for your idea, Ben. Appreciate for users that process quotes this could be quite useful as a quick indicator and action item.
We don't have immediate plans for this but are considering improvements to the tasks widget so will be sure to share if there are updates on this.
In the meantime, make sure to share your idea with other colleagues that'd find this useful and we'll get a sense of the wider interest in your idea here. 🙂

Cashflow - Quick check to report solvency
have an optional widget where you can set up your own quick ratio calculation, so you can see if you are trading insolvent or not, at a glance. The idea would be to tick off the accounts in the chart of accounts that are relevant e.g. bank accs, inventory, debtors, payables... but make the choices entirely the choice of the user
1 vote🌟 Thanks for sharing this idea.
We can see the value in having an optional way to monitor short-term solvency at a glance, whether through a custom quick ratio widget or the ability to run a cash flow report. The flexibility to choose which accounts are included would make this more relevant for different businesses and reporting preferences.
We’re moving this idea to gaining support so we can better understand how many others would find this useful.

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…
7 votesHi team, thank you for sharing back with us on the new homepage here.
Right now we are working on developing some of the widgets to allow more control of the view and information you see. As an example we are developing the Invoices owed to you and Bill to pay widgets to provide the ability to resize and change the information that is shown.
We will keep you updated on the release of these here.

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.
4 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.

New Homepage - Toggle to blur sensitive information on homepage
Homepage PRIVACY - If could could please add a button, close to the top of the page, that allowed for sensitive data to be blurred with one toggle on/off. Sometimes you may still want to login and use something in a more public space, or perhaps show someone something in the system, but you do not want all your figures on display. I think this is quite an important one.
32 votesHiya team, appreciate all the input you've each shared with us on the needs in keeping some information private, and less visible to others that may be working close by.
Understanding the needs here, I'd like to share this is a piece of work our team have picked up and in the initial stages of working through.
I'll be sure to keep you updated as this work progresses, here.

Homepage - Profit & Loss comparisons
P&L Historical Comparison Widget - Being able to see either as a line graph or table, how this year, quarter, month, etc compares with previous periods. Top level numbers like on the mobile app, but with variance or % increase/decrease
11 votesThanks for sharing your idea, Jon. This is something we'll start to feel out the interest in here and I'll share if there are any updates planned for this.

Homepage | Invoices owed to you widget - Change message for overdue invoices
The text that says '1 of 3 overdue' is so misleading. I took it to mean there were 3 overdue invoices as the the whole line is red. I kept looking for the three overdue invoices, but there weren't three, there was only one. Maybe I'm just dumb, but there's got to be a better way of saying that.
3 votesAppreciate users may read this message differently, Nicola. We're listening to feedback about the new Homepage closely so we'll begin to get a gauge of others that find this confusing here.

1 vote
Hi Ernie, we understand that being able to view Net Assets in the Account Watchlist would make it easier to monitor your overall financial position from the dashboard.
We’ll continue to track interest to help our product teams understand the value of expanding the accounts available in Watchlist.

Homepage - Show "No bank feed set up" instead of "Last updated " on unlinked accounts
Bank feed showing as last updated Jan 1 but it used to show that no bank feed had been set up. Please can we go back to the more meaningful description.
I've been asking new clients to check their bank feed when I should have still been chasing them to set it up. Now they're totally confused.
1 voteHi Della, thanks for sharing this idea. Clear status wording on the dashboard really matters, especially when you are managing clients and keeping track of accounts that need attention.
We hear the need for clearer messaging on unlinked accounts, like showing “No bank feed set up” instead of a generic “Last updated [date]” when there is no connection in place.
We’ll continue to track interest and share it with the relevant product teams.

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.
7 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.

Homepage | Net profit and loss - 12 month view
I REALLY want a rolling 12 month turnover, VAT threshold warning.
3 votesThanks for sharing with us here. We're keeping a close eye no the support for ideas around the new homepage and will watch interest in this idea grow. I'll be sure to share if there are any plans made for this, here.

Dashboard - Chart of accounts watchlist to include previous month
We utilise the chart of accounts watchlist as a quick snap shot of our month. It would be great to be able to add a previous month option to this. So we can see this month, previous month & YTD in this watchlist without having to run a P&L report to cross check everything
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We appreciate you sharing how having the previous month figures alongside current month and YTD data in the Chart of Accounts Watchlist could make for a much more useful at-a-glance view on the Dashboard.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

Homepage - View date bank feed requires refreshing
Please reinstate this notation wthin each access box/widget . It's useful.
"This account will stop importing transactions on ?? ?? ????
1 voteHi Alain, thanks for contributing your idea. We can see how having clearer visibility of bank feed reauthentication dates would help, especially when managing multiple accounts.
Having expiry information visible directly from the bank account widget on the homepage could make it easier to stay ahead of feeds disconnecting and avoid interruptions to transaction imports.
We understand the value of keeping these reminders more visible within day-to-day workflows, so we’ve updated the idea to Gaining Support while we continue tracking the feedback and interest shared here.

Homepage - Button to reset to homepage default view
Provide an option to reset the homepage to default.
Having messed around with it, I want to go back!
5 votesThanks for the feedback here, team. We don't have any plans for enabling the ability to return to a default / initial state of the homepage, for now we'll keep a watchful eye on the support in this idea, here.
However we have a somewhat related idea that our product teams do intend on exploring further around providing template or view options to help users with basic layouts that you may be interested in joining too.
