  1. Adding 'statements' to the Sales drop down navigation. Simple addition, rather than having to go through the full Invoice page to send statements at EOM.

    Hi everyone, thanks for your engagement and sharing how we can further improve the new navigation experience for you here.

    Our product team are paying close attention to your feedback on the drop down options, and we're continuing to monitor the interest this idea receives.

    We'll let you know if there are any updates, here.

  2. On the Sales menu, I would like a sub-menu/fly-out to the right of Invoices with links to the Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment, Paid, and Repeating tabs on the Invoices page. This would enable me to go directly to the tab I want, saving a click or two, and reduce page load time instead of always landing on the default tab then having to click the one I actually want. Clicking Invoices should still go to the All tab. Same could be done on the Purchases menu for Bills.

    Alternatively, instead of a sub-menu/fly-out, add Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment,…

    Hi team, we appreciate your valuable feedback on how we could keep improving the new navigation experience for our customers.

    We appreciate hearing how and why sub menus could be helpful in some sections of the navigation and this is something our product team are monitoring closely.

    I will share if there are any plans or progress to share on this, here.

    We appreciate you sharing feedback on the changes we could make to further enhance the new navigation for you, here!

    Understanding that sub menus or more levelled drop downs could be helpful in some places, this is an idea our product team have a close eye on.

    If there is any news I'll share an update with you all on this, here.

  4. Fewer clicks - Help banner on each page. I would like to be able to disable this permanently for established clients.

  6. The “Favourite” feature in the Reporting section is excellent, please consider expanding this to other dropdowns or sections across the platform.

    This could help address the long-standing need for sub-menu shortcuts or easier navigation, especially for commonly used tools like Repeating Invoices or the Chart of Accounts.

    Note: historically, I’ve used browser bookmarks as a workaround for this. However, recent updates seem to have made these bookmarks unreliable, some now fail to link correctly, and this issue appears to be getting worse. I fear with this update It may no longer be viable to rely on bookmarks as quick links.

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes to our new navigation that would mean the most for you.

    We know there are a range of sub menus our customers would find advantageous to have more accessible from the main menu.

    We're tracking feedback on this here, closely and will share if there are any plans made.

  7. I'd prefer to see the Tax Menu consolidated into either the Reporting or Accounting menu. Having more options just adds clutter and unnecessarily overwhelms users.

    Hi team, we appreciate the interest from you all on the new navigation experience.

    We're keen to continue tracking where our customers would find features the most useful in terms of navigation and if there are any changes for the location of Tax I will share with you here.

  8. I would suggest adding "Drafts" to sales and purchases menu.

    Great to be getting this feedback and see the input from our community that are getting a gauge of the new navigation experience. Thank you.

    Our product teams are very close to the different needs being shared from our customers in the forum here and we will keep you updated if there are any plans made around the menu options for Sales.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing back on the new navigation experience with us here. We understand there are different options that our customers would find most useful within the menu drop downs and our product teams are paying close attention to the feedback we receive on this in Product Ideas. We will share any updates surrounding this with you all here.

  10. Can the main pull down bar (Dashboard, Business, Accounting, Projects, Contacts) be fixed at the top of the page? When viewing a screen that has 100 or more lines, it would be a lot more convenient to have immediate access to this than having to scroll all the way back up.

    Hi team, we appreciate all the feedback this idea has received over time. With our reimagined navigation this is something our product teams considered closely, however there is a bit of work involved to achieve what's being asked and we want to be open it's not in the roadmap right now. However, we're keeping a pulse on the feedback here and will be sure to share if there's any progress. Thanks

  11. Please make it so that the user can begin typing immediately upon pressing the Search Magnifying Glass Icon. The new Search Magnifying Glass Icon button for this prototype needs to be manually clicked on twice before anything can be typed in via keyboard due to the cursor not automatically placing itself inside the search box that pops up. This is bad.

    Hi community, thank you for sharing back on this with us here. We appreciate seemingly small things can have a big impact.

    Our product teams are evaluating all the ideas and feedback coming from our customers surrounding the new navigation and we'll be sure to let you know if there is any change planned for this, here.

  12. Hi Kelly, concerning projects, I have a thought or idea in seeing HOT Projects or URGENT or PRIORITY Projects in the Projects drop down just like the drop down on the Reporting button that you have Favorite Reports when you create custom reports or when you favorite some of the standard ones. Thank you, John

    Thanks for sharing how you can see us developing the new navigation experience to further enhance this for you.

    Our product teams are taking all feedback we're receiving through the forums here into careful consideration as they keep planning their roadmaps.

    We understand our customers have different needs when it comes to menu options and will share if there are any updates on this with you here.

  13. Custom reports as an option the Report drop down. I know we can favourite them, but if we have a lot of custom reports it's quicker just to go to the custom report page immediately and work from there.

  14. As an accountant I prefer the Reporting and Accounting tabs together, under one tab as it has always been. It would slow me down, if I had to search for accounting tools/reports under different tabs.
    Please keep it simple!

    It's interesting to hear how our different customers find the navigation most useful for their needs. Thanks for sharing, Laszlo.

    We have a close eye on all the feedback we're receiving on this new experience here in the forums and we'll get a good sens of the interest from others that'd prefer this view from your idea here.

    We will share if there are any updates.

  15. Can the list of favourite reports be set to default to always include the Trial balance (at least with Advisor rights). As an accountant I always run a Trial balance report and have to manually set this as a favourite on every client I log into. I also regularly use the accountant transaction report and Aged payables and receivables which are already default favourites.

    Thanks for sharing on the new navigation with us here, Shirley. We'd like to get a sense of the interest in this from the community here and will keep a close eye on the traction.

    If there are any updates we'll share with you here.

  16. Clarity of 'Top Line Navigation' format 'Home / Sales / Purchases' etc - the formatting is not clear enough and does not stand out as the Primary Navigation. Please could this be in 'Bold' or outlined so it is not lost in this new very busy homepage.

  17. It would be useful to have custom dates on the main menu. I find it frustrating that I have to pick a timeline, then change the dates.

  18. Please could you add a 'Back to the top' button, especially on the reconcile and report pages, but every page would be useful.
    After scrolling down many line items, it would be far quicker to have this function implemented for ease.

    Thanks for sharing, Katie. We don't have any plans for adding this within Xero atm, however if working on a desktop you can use Home button on a Windows, or on a Mac you can press the Command key + Left arrow. This should help when navigating a long list such as reports like you mentioned.

  19. Dates - could this please not necessarily be the current date? This is the one most infuriating thing I find with Xero as it is time-consuming to keep altering it.

    For example, when entering bills, I am working through bills from the previous month. It would be useful if the date remembered the previous date entered and defaulted to it, so that one could just change the 'day' number and not the month and year.

    Alternatively, could one choose a month period and year so that all entries are going to be in that month, with just the day numbers…
