  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. One of the key steps in preparing client financials is to ensure accounts, especially newly added ones, are assigned to the correct report code. I had the favourited on every client in the old navigation for quick access as it's something I need almost every time. It'd like that back.

    Great to get your feedback here, Chris. It'll be good for us to get a sense of interest from others in community that also found this Favouriting of Advanced Account settings useful.

    We're keeping a close eye on the interest and will share if there are any updates for you here.

  11. 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.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on the new navigation experience, Hilary.It's great to hear our customers are familiarising themselves with the new layout.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Our product team are paying close attention to the ideas and feedback we are receiving on this, and we'll continue to track the interest closely.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  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. I would like to see taxes split into Payroll, VAT and CIS more clearly

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

  16. The new tabs are nominated as Purchases and Sales but some of their sub tabs go beyond that. I would prefer to label them Payments and Receipts

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on the new navigation, John. Great to hear the changes that would help our customers most.

    We'll start to understand the interest from others in community that would also find that terminology more useful from your idea here.

    Our product teams are considering all feedback closely and I'll share if there are any updates.

  17. Navigation - Main Menu
    Personally, I access practice tools and hubdoc / syft several times daily, I'd prefer not thave to scroll down to get to these. Settings and Subscription / Billing are access much less frequently and coud me lower in the menu.
    Also the Xero Menu and Home Menu seem to do exactly the same thing? Could the main drop down menu therefore be moved over to the LHS where it was previously.

    Thanks for your feedback, Tina. To make it easy to track the interest from community and keep you updated we request each post is contained to a single idea. I've slightly amended your idea to the first that you mentioned around navigating to practice tools. We have a slightly different one for the navigation to Hubdoc that you may like to vote for.

    For the last point you've noted around the Xero and Home buttons - welcome to start a new idea for this too, that we can track support in. Thanks

  18. I have seen the new Xero update, and the search bar has changed (only looks and complaints)
    1. The search bar stays open, so you manually have to close it, which is slightly annoying.
    2. Your search stays in the bar when it is closed. So when you open the bar again to search for something else, you have to delete the original search. If it has been a while since you last searched, you forget, and it can be so frustrating.

    If the search bar were fixed (actually finding things I were searching for), I wouldn't mind. But this…

  19. Put Tracking Categories back under Accounting. Same as Chart of Accounts, Tracking Categories needs to be accessed regularly.

    Really good to get your feedback on the navigation you'd find most helpful for your use here, Sejal. We'll keep an eye on the community traction this gets from others here and I'll share if there are any updates.

  20. I think the new menu bar is great as its closer to the original layout from about 9-10 years ago.

    But super annoying that I can only access Products & Services via Sales.

    All our purchasing is run through Xero, all our sales is run via external POS that we import summary csv, not detail, so no products or services.

    Seeing as the new navigation bar is already quite full and having a separate productions option is not visually viable, would it not make sense to have the Products and Services link feature in both Sales & Purchases?

    I mean,…

    Really appreciate your feedback on the new navigation, Fiona. I've made sure to share this back with our product team. They are taking on board and considering all feedback carefully.

    For now we'll get an understanding of the interest from community in this through your idea, and I'll let you know if there are any plans made for this, here.
