    We're grateful for sharing your experience with the beta for our new navigation.

    Our Community have reviewed and shared your feedback with our product team. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  2. 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.

    Understand 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  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. 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!

    Great to be getting feedback from our community on the new homepage experience - we thank you for engaging with us here.

    Our product teams are staying close to what our customers are sharing back through the forums here, and we will share if there are any updates around widgets that would getting a view of tracking assignments, here.

  10. Watchlist figures should display as per the reporting settings.

    Currently watchlist ONLY displays as accrual accounting... which means it's useless for CASH accounting businesses.

    It would be great if all figures displayed are as per the accounting method of the business.

    Appreciate our customers have different needs in the information they view.

    Our team are regularly reviewing the feedback we're receiving from our community on this, and we will let you know if there are any plans made around providing a cash basis view.

  11. Can we add hotkeys for frequently used functions.

    For example

    Search - Alt + S

    Invoice - Alt + I

    Dashboard - Alt + D

    Bank rec - Alt + B
    And etc

    We appreciate some of our customers find keyboard shortcuts very useful for navigating. Thank you for sharing your interest in this with us, here.

    Our product teams are aware of the interest in this here and it would be great to hear more of the specific shortcuts you'd find most useful here. We'll share any updates with you here.

  12. Add GST Return due in the tasks box
    A lot of clients miss the reminder from IRD that a GST return is due, as reminder in Tasks would reduce this risk

  13. 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.

    Hi team, just make sure we understand the request here - would this be to purely access custom reports, or is there something you'd also want to be seeing from a visual POV on the Homepage?

    Thanks for engaging with us on this here.

  15. I love the new homepage and how I can customize to make it less busy. I also love the Task widget. It would be great if there was a month end review widget showing a list of bank and credit card accounts with the last reconciliation date.

    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.

  17. It would be great for those that have various type of color blindness to be able to change the color, say the user has an issue with the color red or green, being able to change the color would be beneficial.

    Hearing the different ways our customers would find tasks on the new homepage experience most useful is really valuable. Thanks for sharing your interest in being able to attach files with us here.

    Right now, our product teams are considering all the feedback we're receiving from our customers on this new experience, and we will share if there are any updates for this with you.

  20. It's very hard to tell multiple organizations apart, particularly if they have the same initials. Currently, Xero simply displays the organizations' initials. It also assigns a random color to each organization. It would help distinguish these greatly if the organization settings allowed me to upload an avatar for each organization. Xero's Demo Company already illustrates how this feature would look. Also, it would help edit the color Xero assigns so that the color could match each organization's branding.
