New Homepage - Ability for advisor to set defaults
Love the look and ability to customise widgets for clients. It would be great if we, as Advisors, can specify then the client can change.
Displaying the client logo in the top left is great but way too small to be effective
71 votesGreat to hear you're diving into the new experience, Michele. Thanks for taking your time to share changes that you could feel could add benefit.
We'll get a feel for the interest from other beta users from your idea here and I'll make sure to share if our product teams make any plans around this.

Homepage - Add a "Tax and Reporting" quick-link widget to the Dashboard
New layout is great now I've got used to it. I do miss the Tax and Reporting box where I had quick links to useful items such as VAT return, CIS return. Could you add this as an optional widget on the new dashboard please? Thanks.
17 votesHi Andrea, appreciate your sharing on how having a “Tax and Reporting” shortcut on the dashboard would make accessing tax returns and key reports quicker and simpler. Navigating through multiple menus can slow things down, especially when deadlines are looming.
In the meantime, you can access your VAT return directly from the Tax menu on the navigation bar for quicker access.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product teams how much this shortcut could help make compliance tasks faster and more efficient.

Homepage | Invoices owed to you widget - Move new invoice button to top
The "Invoices owed to you" widget NEEDS to have the "new invoice" button on top as before. What do we do with XERO besides accounting? Create invoices, and having to scroll down this widget is useless as ...... (fill in the blank). It's a very simple display change.
15 votesAppreciate you raising this with us here, Fred.
This is something we're monitoring feedback of and would be good to hear from others on your idea here that'd also appreciate this option further up the widget.
As another simple way of creating an invoice there's the keyboard shortcut '/i' that'll open Search with an option to create 'New invoice'.

Homepage - Show bank feed refresh/loading status
When refreshing the bank feed we used to get a "loading" type of notification on the old layout on the homepage when it was actively refreshing. Now nothing seems to be showing but when I switch back to the old layout I can see that it's "loading" (or if I click on the bank itself).
It's helpful to know if the feeds is "thinking" or not so I don't prematurely bug the client to fix on their end. And an overview of all the accounts that are loading is nice instead of having to click on each one. Thanks!
18 votesHi everyone, it does sound like a bank feed status indicator would be a really helpful addition, giving you a quick sense of whether your imported statement lines are fully up-to-date or still processing.
We understand how important it is to have that confirmation—without a clear visual cue, it can be hard to tell if the feed is still loading, has completed, or if something has gone wrong. Knowing the current status at a glance helps you trust the numbers and act quickly if there’s an issue.
As such, we've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest in making bank feed status more visible on the homepage. It would be great to hear from the community and understand how this could make a difference for everyday workflows.

Homepage - Option to hide notifications (Payment services, switch back to old version, etc)
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.
18 votesThanks 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!

Homepage - Chart of Accounts customise columns
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…
47 votesReally 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.

Homepage - Chatbox or notepad on Xero
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.
35 votesThanks 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.

Homepage - Remove business overview and shift customise button
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.
49 votesUnderstand wanting to make the most important information visible. Thanks for sharing your feedback on our new homepage here.
We're watching the forums here closely and will share if there is any updates that would help with what you're asking.

Homepage - VAT & Corp tax running total
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!
29 votesHi 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.

New Homepage - Ability to add custom widget
Customisation of widget request, ie Add New Widget >> Select certain costs >> Select certain incomes. Show chart month by month.
5 votesThanks 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.

Dashboard - Quick Access Widget for Favourite Reports
Hi. Could we have a widget which provides shortcuts to the reports we've added as favourites, please?
10 votesHi 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.

Homepage - Button to reset to homepage default view
Provide an option to reset the homepage to default.
Having messed around with it, I want to go back!
5 votesThanks 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.

Homepage | Invoices owed to you - list of outstanding
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)
5 votesThanks 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.

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

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 - Add quick access links for most important features

7 votesHi 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. 🙂
