Homepage - Month to date, year to date sales widget
Cash in and out is very helpful, however, any organisation that offers lead time and credit terms is often more focused on sales rather than income. There is no month to date, year to date sales widigit.
I get that the home page can't be all things to all people, but in part you are trying to make it a KPI dashboard without fully facilitating the needs of many.
5 votesAppreciate the feedback here, team. As mentioned by some there is the Chart of Accounts watchlist that will help you get a quick snap of your sales account however appreciate wanting a separate widget for this and we'll continue to track interest this idea grows. I'll be sure to update if there are any plans made.

Homepage - Include items to review and drafts in the tasks widget.
Please can bills to review, invoices to review, expenses to review be included on the tasks widget. This was really clear in the old homepage design and now the things to do are hidden among all the bank accounts, which were previously grouped together nicely.
5 votesAppreciate hearing your feedback on this here. I can assure you our teams did a lot of testing with all aspects of the homepage prior to it's rollout however we totally understand there are different views of what information would be most valuable, where. This is exactly the type of thing we're keen to hear and understand the appetite of through product ideas.
Just to confirm, while slightly changed in terms of placement it's possible to view Drafts for Invoices and Bills in their related Invoices owed to you, or Bills to pay widgets.
This is now found beneath the graph where you can click the 'x' drafts text to go straight to the list of draft invoices (or bills).
We don't have any immediate plans for changing the placement of the Drafts link within the Invoices owed to you, or Bills to pay widgets however we'll begin to get…

Homepage - Add Widget For Cash Manager
Adding Cashflow manager view into the dashboard is a helpful view to have. It will not only promote the idea of using the cashflow manager but for those who use it, will start giving dashboard views on cash forecast, balances and risks as cashflow management is an active part of small business users sensitivity.
5 votesHi community, this is an idea we've ben considering and can confirm is in development wth our product team now.
I'll share another update with more information on this once it's live!

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.

Quotes - Ability to add and edit full contact details while creating a quote
Quotes Need a bit of work, You've just added ability to generate a link - that's great, however, still can't share quote in the app.
While creating a quote for a new customer - you can't add any of their details (but you can if you create an invoice), you have to create new customer first then go back to creating a quote, we have a lot of new customers just walking in.
Often we'll start on an Invoice Page and we can't just change that invoice to quote once it's started. Is it possible to change invoice to quote…
5 votesHi Adam, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how needing to leave the Quotes screen to update a phone number or address interrupts your momentum.
At the moment, the option is to create a basic contact and then update their details from the Contacts menu afterward. While that works, we understand that being able to enter or edit everything in one place would make the process smoother.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and highlight to our product teams how in-screen editing could simplify the quoting workflow.
Just a quick note — we’re only able to track one idea per post. If you have additional suggestions, please raise them as separate ideas so we can accurately monitor the traction and feedback for each one.

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.

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 - Thanks4 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 | 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…
4 votesGreat to get your feedback on the Cash in and out widget from you here - Thanks for sharing.
We don't have any plans of this nature just atm, but will be keeping a close eye on the appetite of this here and I'll share if there are any updates.

Homepage - Ability to add multiple copies of the same widget with different filters/periods
Allow duplicate widget tiles
For instance, allowing us to have a tile for 'Net profit and loss - year to date' AND a tile for 'Net profit and loss - last quarter' etc. without having to switch the one 'Net profit and loss' from year to date to last quarter.
Also being able to specify a 'tracking category' for any given tile would allow us to separate PnL at a glance without having to go through the reporting to do so.
4 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. Being able to have multiple versions of a widget would make it much easier to compare different data points at a glance—like this month’s sales versus the same period last year—without constantly adjusting filters or date ranges.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can monitor interest and show our product teams how having extra widget flexibility could help you see key comparisons more efficiently and get a clearer view of your business at a glance.

Homepage | Cash in and Cash out - Split by Business and Owner drawings
Allow 2 categories of Cash Out since i am a sole trader and my drawings are included in cash out so the widget is useless if i cant either exclude drawings or split cash out between Busienss Cash Out and Owner Drawings Cash out. Just keep the Cash out bar but split into two colours so that you can see Cash out Business and Cash out Drawings.
4 votesAppreciate you sharing the need in this split of the cash in and out widget here. We're tracking the ideas we receive on the homepage closely and I'll be sure to share if there are any updates planned for this, here.

Invoicing - Overdue invoices tab or quick link
I love that there is an easy to see red link to overdue invoices on the homepage, but could this also be added to the Invoices page? I keep going through extra clicks because I click into my overdue invoices to deal with them, select an invoice, and then have the 'back to invoices' link but if I click this there is then no option to select only overdue invoices to view. Also it would be great when viewing all invoices to have some easy way (maybe an '!' symbol or similar so it's colour-blind friendly) to identify which ones…
4 votesHi Laura, thanks for putting this forward.
Having a quicker way to access overdue invoices would certainly make daily credit control more efficient and help you stay on top of cash flow.
In the meantime, you can select the “Overdue” section within the Invoices owed to you widget on the dashboard to jump straight to those invoices. If you open an invoice from that list, using your browser’s back arrow will return you to the same overdue view. Another option is to open invoices in a new tab so the overdue list remains open in the original tab.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can capture interest and share with the product team how useful a dedicated shortcut would be.

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/bills4 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 - Negative values in brackets and coloured RED thoughout Xero, not just the Homepage
The only option is for the Homepage - but my suggestion is for the whole system.
Having negative values in brackets and coloured RED - easier to see at a glance. To me that should be a basic feature. Extending that to reports also so there is less filtering etc.
4 votesThanks for sharing your idea about showing negatives in red and brackets throughout the whole of Xero.

Too Noisy
The graphs are too big - and there needs to be an option to remove them - also % under the graphs or % of overdue both # & $ would be better - overdue ageing instead of graphs
The windows are too big and the windows are cumbersome to reorganise and dont stay reorganised.
Favourite reports window has disappeared off the home page
Having to refresh the widget windows is annoying - why cant they just be updated when you return home?

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 - Make font darker
The new homepage is an accessibility nightmare. None of the fonts are dark enough on the excessively white background. I only have slight vision issues and I'm really struggling to read it with the light fonts and the clutter. I would hate to have a vision impairment worse than mine because this new homepage is basically unreadable and inaccessible.
I've recommended to Xero on multiple occasions to please hire an accessibility manager who can help them avoid these things, including during times when they've specifically put out requests to have their new pages tested before release, but they continue to…

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.

Homepage | Net profit and loss - 12 month view
I REALLY want a rolling 12 month turnover, VAT threshold warning.

Homepage - Remove animations
Provide an option to eliminate animations. The growing bars is a distraction, I find myself waiting for the movement to stop before proceeding. I'm here to work, I want the information - I'm not here for entertainment.
3 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share how the moving graphs on the homepage feel for you – I’m really sorry they’re causing frustration and distraction.
We introduced the animations to help bring key information (like money in and out, or what’s owed and due) to life and make it easier to see changes at a glance when the page first loads, rather than having everything appear as a static block of numbers. The bars “rising” from the baseline are there to show the most up-to-date figures and make comparisons a bit clearer, not to get in the way of your work.
That said, we completely understand that movement on screen doesn’t work well for everyone, and it’s important you can focus on your tasks without visual noise. At the moment there isn’t a way to turn these homepage graphs off, or to disable the animation just for…
