Homepage - Link to Drafts at top of Invoice and Bills widgets
What a ridiculous page the new layout is. I tried to add a new bill to Xero, I went back to the NEW layout Bills to pay - nothing added, I tried again still nothing. I have to scroll down to find the draft bills at the bottom of the widget. More efficient NO, time consuming YES what a waste of space this new layout is. Wouldn't you think you'd have the Draft bill under the ones already approved not way down at the bottom. It's the same with the Invoices waiting for payment they are right at the bottom. They should be under the ones waiting for payment. The old layout is much more user friendly for the everyday user to use. MYOB is looking better every day may have to go back to them and bugger the cost. AND I can ring them and speak to a human!!

Hi everyone, we really appreciate your feedback and the growing support this idea has received. Our product teams have been taking on board all that our customers have shared back on the new Homepage and are currently working on improvements to the sizing of some of the widgets including the Invoices owed to you and Bills to pay widgets - The intention is to provide a smaller widget size in which drafts will be shown beside the chart instead of below, helping the visibility and ease of use as you're after here.
I'll be sure to round back and update you when this is delivered đŸ™‚

Would be great if there was a widget to see draft invoices / or be able to jump directly to them from the homepage.

Hi totally agree where is the draft button? I enter it in the "Search" area and still cant't find it. So now I have to keep switching back to the old version why?

It used to be more prominent showing if there were drafts ready, but now its not obvious at all.
Would be great if these were highlighted with like a clue background to easily see, maybe bigger? -

Make the DRAFTS invoices more obvious so they dont get missed. The button is too small
I needs to have some sort of alert or red notification that an invoice has not been sent yet, or is sitting in draft. As we use external software to send invoices to draft in xero, things can get lost easily.

Previously, draft bills and invoices were visible on the homepage. Please reinstate them.

Make draft/awaiting approval invoices and bills stand out if an action is required, or add these to the tasks section.

The Bills to Pay widget still leaves you 2 steps away from the draft bills, which is the same as using the menu. Draft bills are a key part of the system, so even a button on the bills to pay widget to take you straight to draft bills would be so valuable

Agree.
The old widgets had counts for both drafts and awaiting approval above the graph - on both the bills to pay and invoices widgets.
The new widgets have this critical information below the fold, meaning it's no longer obvious and you cannot click/select either of the corresponding links without scrolling. Not ideal, and again easy to miss something important.
But this seems to be the theme with the new homepage update - so much important information moved away from immediate visibility so you need to scroll to see what you need to do. The accounts watchlist is even worse, with it's own scrollbar hiding many accounts that before could be simply scanned for issues.

I want easier visibility of draft bills and bills to approve - I need to scroll to see these now, even if bills to pay is in my top row

Ability to have a widget that lists Draft Bills. We leverage the Xero API to load expenses but they sit in Draft until coded. This would provide a 'To Do list'
