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 Please provide the functionality to hide / remove accounts which are no longer valid and reconfigure the layout to suit a user's individual needs.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.

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.

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!
3 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.

Remove the "Import bank statement" link
We don't need to see this link against every bank account on the homepage. The link in the ellipsis is enough.
3 votesHey Jonathan., I completely understand that you personally don’t need the Import bank statement option there.
However, we’ve chosen to keep it visible because, across all Xero organisations, it’s actually one of the most frequently used actions on the bank widget.
Many businesses still rely on manual statement uploads at different times – for example when a bank doesn’t support feeds, there’s a gap in the data, or a feed is temporarily unavailable.
So while it might not be something you use every day, it’s a key shortcut for a lot of other customers, which is why it still appears on the homepage.
If your feeds are working well, you can safely ignore it – it’s simply there as a convenient backup when it’s needed.

Homepage - Add new bank accounts to homepage by default
Automatically show new bank accounts on the Homepage
When a new bank account is added in Xero, it currently defaults to being hidden until the user manually clicks “Add to homepage.” This creates an extra, unnecessary step.
Suggestion:
Have newly added bank accounts appear on the Homepage by default, with the option to hide them if users prefer. This would streamline the setup process and reduce friction for users who expect new accounts to be visible immediately.3 votesThanks so much for getting in touch and sharing how you feel about how new bank accounts show on the homepage.
On the new Xero homepage we’ve updated this experience so you have more control. Your very first bank account still appears automatically on the homepage so you can immediately see your key banking information.
After that, when you connect any additional bank accounts, you’ll see a banner on the homepage letting you know there are new accounts available. From there you can choose to add them to the homepage with one click, or dismiss the banner and keep your current layout as it is.
We landed on this approach after testing and speaking with lots of customers: the strong preference was to always be able to see when a new account is available, while still having the choice about which accounts appear on the homepage.

Homepage - Add “New Mileage Claim” button in Expenses widget
Would it be possible to add in a "Create New Mileage Claim" in the 'Expenses' section of the new Homescreen? Currently there is a button to 'Create new Expense', but I know of a lot of Xero users that have significantly more mileage claims to input than expense claims, so having the quick shortcut option for the mileage element would be far more efficient.
3 votesThanks for your feedback on adding a dedicated mileage claim button to the homepage. We appreciate you sharing how this could streamline your workflow, especially for those processing mileage claims regularly.
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!

Homepage | Bills owed to you - View for bills Due today
Hi we really need the homepage Bills widget to display bills due for payment TODAY.
We receive a lot of bills and we pay them on the due date.
Currently it is not easy to find bills due today among all the bills awaiting payment.
The widget displays overdue bills, it could easily show shows due today so we can easily display and pay them.
Thanks
3 votesAppreciate your feedback, and explaining how viewing bills due today from the homepage would help your business, Rick.
Right now we're watching all feedback we're getting about the new Homepage closely. We'll get a sense of the community interest for this here and share if there are any updates. Thanks

Homepage | Banking widget - Real Time Balance (included future payments)
There should be a widget that shows current bank balance, that includes future payments. The current one only shows bank statement balance, and balance in Xero that only shows up to the current date. But when paying bills, it's nice to know the current balance after other future payments to have a full idea of cash flow available. This widget should then also follow through to the bills pages so I can pay bills and see my balance in real-time to make better plans of which and when bills should be paid.
3 votesThanks for your feedback, Aaron. It's good to get a sense of interest in others that would find this view useful. We'll start to track through your idea here.

Homepage | COA watchlist - view all selected accounts
Please put back the full Watchlist view. The idea of a watchlist is to be able to see at a glance what accounts we need to keep a watch on. It's not 'at a glance' if the list isn't in full view and we have to scroll down.
Also, please remove the advertising and banners that clutter the homepage.3 votesAppreciate the feedback, Carol. Can see how if you've selected a large list of accounts to keep on your watchlist how scrolling the widget could be frustrating.
I want to be honest that we don't have any plans for extending out this widget further atm, however we'll start to get a sense of the interest from your idea here and I'll share if there are any updates.

Homepage - Show Gross Profit
Gross Profit Widget pls ASAP.
This was always the first thing I looked at on my old homepage. I love the addition of Net Profit - Thanks3 votesGreat to hear you find the Net profit or loss widget useful! We're continuing to stay close to the pulse of feedback on the homepage here, so I'll be sure to let you know if there are any plans made for adding Gross profit or loss.

Homepage - View Account Transactions
Each account on the home page now has an added line "View Account Transactions".
This takes up more room - and therefore we see less accounts at a glance.
Have the option to remove this line - and we know we just click on the account - as per usual3 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Homepage - VAT Staus to link directly to HMRC VAT to renew connection
VAT status in home page needs to link to HMRC to renew link as on old version. For reasons I don't understand the link does frequesntly need renewing. I had to switch back to old version to do this today.

Homepage | Banking widget - Option to update feed login details
The 'update feed login' isn't available under the dropdown on the new page
3 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. Being able to update bank feed login details directly from the dashboard would make it quicker to resolve connection alerts and keep your bank feeds running smoothly. We can see how having that action available right where the notification appears would help you get back to reconciliation faster.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and give our product teams visibility into how helpful a direct “Update login” option on the dashboard banking widget would be.

Homepage - Add a "Manage Bank Accounts" or "See All" link to the bank widgets
Please put the quick link button on the new layout to "manage bank accounts".
It's annoying it's not there now, I use it alot!3 votesHi Juliet, thanks for sharing this idea! A direct "See All" link on the dashboard would make it even easier to view and manage all your bank accounts in one place.
Right now, you can click into Accounting > Bank Accounts to see the full list, but having a single shortcut from the Homepage would help you move through your reconciliation tasks more smoothly. I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so our product teams can track interest and see how this could enhance the daily experience for users.

Homepage - Ability to hide decimals
Add the ability to hide decimals, as we can in reporting preferences.

File upload | Receipts - Automatically recognise and link to transaction
When uploading a receipt, Xero should recognise the information on the receipt and automatically find the bank transaction or ones similar to match with, like what Quickbooks does. It would make life a lot easier.

Homepage - Widget for a customer/supplier watchlist
Watched Clients/suppliers widget
Summarise the invoices and Bills for a given contact
It would be nice to have an overview of specific (perhaps problematic) clients.
It would be good to be able to see at a glance:
- average payment timeframe (i.e. usually 5 days late etc.)
- current credit/debt value
- scheduled invoices/bills3 votesHi everyone, I can see how having a watchlist for key customers or suppliers would be really useful. Whether it’s keeping an eye on a major account’s balance or making sure a supplier hasn’t overbilled you, having those names front and center would save a lot of manual searching.
Right now, important accounts can sometimes slip through the cracks, since you have to remember to check on them individually. A dedicated watchlist would mean Xero could flag the status of these contacts the moment you log in, helping you stay on top of your business relationships.
For now, you can use the Account Watchlist to track overall categories, and for individual contacts, you can bookmark their Activity page in your browser. This lets you jump directly to their transactions and balances with a single click, saving time navigating through multiple screens.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so our…

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.
2 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.
