Homepage - Add the ability to group widgets together
With many accounts on the homepage (for example multiple currency accounts), it would be great to be able to drop the widgets into a group. Almost like the iPhones home screen. The difference would be that I could have the ability to resize the group to display the widgets in the group so they could be seen all at one (if desired). e.g. A collapsable view. e.g. All my EUR accounts grouped together.
Rather than making the group resizable to any size, it would be limited to a 3x1 or a 1x3 arrangement, Or some other practical variation

Hi everyone, it makes a lot of sense to want a cleaner way to organise dashboard widgets. When related items like bank accounts or invoice summaries are grouped together, it’s easier to find what you need without much scrolling..
For now, you can use the Edit dashboard button at the bottom of the page to reorder widgets—move your most-used ones to the top and hide the rest.
This idea is now Gaining Support, so we can see how many others would like more control over dashboard layout. We’d love to hear how you’d group your widgets—keep the votes and comments coming!

For clients with many bank accounts it would be useful to be able to easily organise these into columns. For example, current accounts, savings accounts, credit card accounts and factoring accounts from left to right. At the moment, when you move an account it reorders the rest of them from start to finish, making moving them into some semblance of organisation incredibly frustrating (if not impossible). It's like a puzzle.
Even if the above change is implemented, the look of the new homepage is incredibly busy and disorganised. It is visually confusing and it will be very frustrating to work with. I see that we will all be moved over to the new view in a couple of weeks. This seems very soon given how much work is required to make the new homepage suitable for users.

ability to utilise rows and columns to help to group widgets is good. Currently it seems that moving one widget shifts everything left to right so the columned contents change

this could also then be combined with a total cash at bank widget 0 total credit card balance etc at the of the grouped of widgets and when collapsed

It would be helpful to group items on the home page into sections that can be opened and closed.
For example:
All bank accounts under Banking
Finance leases (connected as bank accounts) under Finance Leases
Credit cards under Credit Cards, and
Other/(s)
This would allow users to collapse sections they don’t need and quickly see only what matters to them, making the home page cleaner and easier to use.

Like others here, I was very disappointed when I switched to the new home page to see such a cluttered mess.
This would be greatly helped by the ability to manage different sections, in particular one section to put all the bank accounts (we have 13+ bank accounts for different Wise currencies) that used to be neatly arranged on the right-hand side.
Also, the ability to leave gaps and fix things to start on a new row - it's currently really hard to arrange anything, because moving one widget moves all the others.
