  2. A widget or chatbox where you can leave comments for accountant or business owner?

    Ability to strikeoff and clear the comments/tasks. Ability to add attachments like screenshots or even videos will be a great feature for this widget.

    This widget can sit on dashboard.

    Thanks for the clarification, Davie! We don't have immediate plans but are closely monitoring the feedback and votes this receives here. If there are any plans made for a feature like this we'll let you know, here.

  3. P&L Historical Comparison Widget - Being able to see either as a line graph or table, how this year, quarter, month, etc compares with previous periods. Top level numbers like on the mobile app, but with variance or % increase/decrease

  4. An option to get rid of the message across the top of the Home page telling us that we can switch back to the old Homepage for a short time. All it does is take up valuable realestate.

    Thanks for sharing this, where you'd like an option to hide notifications like this one from the menu banner, and free up some space on the screen.


    We've reviewed this. and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. You might like to share this idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments about how they'd like this too!

  5. I would like to customise the columns that appear in the chart of accounts watchlist. I would like have yesterday's closing balance, last month's closing balance, and the change.

    I use the watchlist to monitor clearing accounts, such as daily takings clearing accounts, and being able to spot when a balance has gone awry would be very helpful not only for me but for our team who reconcile these clearing accounts.

    Would be even better if we could add more than one instance of the watchlist then we could have one for clearing accounts with the columns described above, and…

    Really appreciate hearing the detail of why this idea would be useful and how you use the Watchlist on the Homepage.

    We value all the feedback we're receiving on this new experience from our customers here and will share if there are any changes for this planned, here.

  6. I like the new look. Can the Business overview heading be removed and the customise button be moved up to where it is in the old homepage, next to last login? Screen real estate is very precious, especially when the client has a lot of bank accounts/credit cards that fall off the bottom of the screen and can get easily missed.

    Thanks 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.

  9. A couple of customisable quick buttons to take you to your most frequest pages eg. invoices / purchase orders / timesheets

    Hi Ian, thanks for your feedback. We don't have plans to enable the ability to add quick access options directly to the homepage but we'll see the support your idea gets here in community.

    For the time being, you may find the keyboard shortcuts that are available handy in quickly navigating where you need. 🙂

  10. Order of Bank Accounts used to be based on the way they were organized from the Bank Accounts page, and then each user could rearrange their Homepage widgets. Now this sorting doesn't seem to impact the way the Homepage is sorted.

    AND, if new accounts are added, not only does the old Bank Accounts page order have anything to do with the new Homepage, but new accounts are not automatically added to the dashboard. You have to:
    1) Edit Homepage
    2) Add Widget
    3) Toggle the New Bank Accounts on to Show on the Homepage
    4) Save
    5) Scroll down…

    Thanks for the feedback here team, understand how reflecting the order of the bank accounts from the bank accounts page would be useful for some users.

    We'll continue to track interest in this here and let you know if there are any updates to the behaviour of ordering planned, however it's not in the pipeline at present.

    In terms of showing new bank accounts - the first bank account you add is shown by default. As you add new bank accounts there is a banner that'll show to let you know new accounts are available and you can use the Edit homepage option to choose which widgets you'd like to have shown on your homepage.

  11. At a glance, a running total of VAT and Corporation tax due. As a small business, this would be very helpful for planning. Crunch Accounting had this on their homepage and it is the only thing i miss about their very clunky system!

    Hi Lyn, thanks for adding your feedback on our prototype for the new Xero homepage in regards to running totals for VAT/GST/BAS and Corporation/AU/NZ Tax, this is incredibly valuable to the team as they make the refinements.

    We know this addition would help you keep a closer eye on your business's financial health. We appreciate your continued feedback on the prototype homepage and encourage you to leave more feedback for us.

  12. Suggestion: please allow us to color code the cards. This would help visually organize things. For example, bank accts one color, Invoices and Bills another, analysis another color.

    Thanks for your suggestion, Karin. Appreciate there are different ways customers find the homepage would work best for them.

    We'll track the interest in being able to colour code cards from your idea here. This isn't something we have plans for atm, but I'll be sure to share if there are any updates.

  13. Add a widget for tracking categories with current and prior month expenses against each or even the top 5 of each category.

    make the hope page printable to pdf and also for the user to be able to present it to a client or board.

    Interesting thought of how the new homepage experience could be used in different ways, thanks for sharing with us here!

    Our product teams are watching the feedback in these forums with a close eye and we will share if there are any updates for you here.

  14. Hi. Could we have a widget which provides shortcuts to the reports we've added as favourites, please?

    Hi Terry, it's great to hear your idea on how to make the dashboard work harder for you! Having your key reports front and center would make it more accessible.

    Right now, jumping into the full reports menu multiple times a day can feel a bit repetitive, especially when you rely on certain custom reports.

    For now, you can use the “Starring” feature in the Reports center. Star your favourites and they’ll appear at the top of the Reporting menu for quicker access. Some users also find it handy to bookmark report URLs in their browser for instant access.

    This idea is now Gaining Support, so the product team can see how much interest there is in more dashboard customisation.

  15. A widget for the Files section that you can drag/drop into without having to click top left, then Files.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate your suggestion for a Files widget on the dashboard with drag and drop functionality.

    The community team has reviewed this and moved it to Gaining support, which means it's now open for community votes and comments.


  16. 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.

    Appreciate 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.

  17. Today I learned with shock that the new dashboard only supports 50 bank accounts for display. Unfortunately, we have more accounts which on the new dashboard layout will not be shown. That is not good for our organisation. The workaround via the "list of accounts" is cumbersome and definitely not an improvement.

    If more than 50 bank accounts cannot be displayed on the dashboard or "Home" page, would it be possible to have FOLDERS on the dashboard like folders on a PC desktop or on a smartphone? Then I could allocate around 10 bank accounts into one folder according to…

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on viewing more than 50 bank accounts on the homepage. We appreciate you explaining how important this is for organisations managing larger numbers of accounts.

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  18. 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.

    Thanks 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.

  20. I would rather have a list of outstanding invoices (names and amounts) on the dashboard instead of a graph with the totals owed. (same layout as the recently paid invoices list which i have removed completely as its not necessary)

    Thanks for he feedback here, team. Atm we don't have any plans for surfacing your outstanding invoices as a list within the widget, however we appreciate feedback we've received around the graph and our team are working on some sizing updates that would enable you to remove the graph on both the Invoices owed to you and Bills to pay widgets. You can stay updated on this work through the idea here.
