New Interface too overwhelming

I find the new interface overwhelming compared to the previous two-column layout.

In our business we manage a large number of bank accounts and credit cards, and the new design displays everything in a very dense, visually busy way. This makes it harder to scan and understand at a glance, and honestly creates visual discomfort for me (similar to trypophobia triggered by dense, repetitive layouts).

The old two-column layout was much calmer, clearer, and more usable for accounts-heavy setups. It allowed faster comprehension and reduced cognitive load.

I would strongly appreciate:

An option to switch back to the classic two-column layout, or

More spacing, grouping, or collapsible sections to reduce visual density, and ability to choose number of columns.

Appreciate your feedback, Eric and this will be shared back with our teams.

That said I want to be upfront that we intend to roll out the new Homepage to all users over the coming months. While we don't accept idea to remove new features, our product teams are paying close attention to feedback we're receiving on the new Homepage and taking this onboard as the continue to develop the experience.

I can see you have also joined this idea around the column widths, and if there are any updates around this we'll be sure to let everyone know on the idea there.

    As per Eric Xu's comment, I have copied and pasted here as I would like the option to stay with the old as well. As stated it is far too busy and not relevant to day to day work in XERO.

    Not impressed at all!
