Workpapers - Option to add work papers to other workflows.
Consider adding workpapers for Inter-Entity Loan, Wages, Div 7A, TPAR, Super Payable, BAS, and GST to provide a more comprehensive set of templates for common compliance and review areas.
94 votesHi team, apologies we jumped the gun a touch on the idea here.
Like previously mentioned, right now you can attach documents and links, set flexible workpaper periods, and use basic calculation sheets in the new experience.
Currently our team are exploring how we might further enhance Workpapers with variations for tailored templates, and support direct importing of reports to improve the way data moves across your compliance steps. We'll share as we have more updates for you around this.

Specific GST workpaper
Is a GST workpaper being developed or would there be one similar to the GST workpaper in exisiting workpapers? We are onboarding staff to old workpapers so having similar or improved workpapers would be useful.
98 votesHi team, we appreciate your feedback as you get stuck in to trying our our new Workpapers. Our team have been monitoring feedback closely and I'd like to share that we're in the process of developing a GST Workpaper in our new solution. We'll be back to share once it's released. 😊

Workpapers - Directly attach reports from Xero blue
It would be great it we could select a report from Xero Blue and attach it to a workpaper - eg. Aged Receivables Summary Report to Accounts Receivable. Currently you have to export the report and link. It would save time if you could directly link the report (preferably as a static PDF or to the spreadsheet section?

New Workpapers - Send Client Queries
We need to be able to send the Client Queries to a client.
The old Xero Workpapers allowed us to send a notification to a client's email, and the client would answer the queries and upload their documents which would be automatically imported into the old Xero Workpapers.

Workpapers - Ability to navigate to other workpapers
Instead of having to go back to the main overview and then select the workpaper, it would be good to be able to have a drop down to select a workpaper as well as the forward and back buttons.
68 votesHi team, atm we're considering improvements to enable you to navigate between workpapers without needing to go back to the workpaper list.
I'll be sure to keep you updated of progress around this, here. Thanks

Workpapers - Apply status options to the whole workpaper
The Status options (Completed, ready for review etc. ) apply to the whole workpaper, for example Current Liabilities. Is it possible to apply a status to each individual account within that workpaper, ie so that as you are reviewing you can mark each account as completed or rework required as you go, instead of the status applying all accounts within that workpaper.

Workpapers - Delete / Reset workpaper
it seems that it is not possible to delete or reset a workpaper. For example, I created a workpaper pack for a reacl client to test. I since updated the templates, and want to reset/delete/recreate the workpaper so its i the updated format. I've messaged Xero support and they have advised this isn't possible. This means I'm not stuck and cant use this workpaper for this client. They suggested I leave a comment here.
41 votesHi Gareth, appreciate your feedback on new Xero Workpapers here. Atm, you can refresh the pack after making template changes for them to pull through.
It'd be good to get more understanding of the scenarios in which you'd like to delete packs - For example when or why you'd want to delete packs and the sort of users you'd want to allow to delete packs to help us better assess your idea here. Thanks!

Workpapers - Direct drag-and-drop file uploads to line items
The old Workpapers let you drag and drop documents directly into the relevant line, as opposed to the New Workpapers where you always have to click the attachment icon which opens a pop up box where you can then drag and drop or browse files to upload etc.
Getting this back would be an awesome quality of life fix that would help with being able to efficiently add in docs.
35 votesHi there, thank you for the feedback!
It sounds like the extra clicks to open the upload pop-up are adding some friction to your workflow compared to the previous version.
We definitely want the New Workpapers to feel as efficient as possible for you. Since direct drag-and-drop to a line item isn't currently available without opening the attachment window first, I’ve moved this to ‘Gaining Support’ to gauge interest from other users who’d like to see this streamlined.

See all queries at once
In the “In Progress” tab, it would be helpful to have the ability to see all queries directly on the screen, instead of needing to click the icon each time. It would also be useful to be able to export all queries by type.

Entertainment and Home Office Adjustments
Those workpapers were available in the old version but are no longer included in the new one. I found them quite useful, and they allowed adjustment journals to be posted directly within the workpaper. Now everything has to be done manually.

Workpapers - Refresh data button from within individual workpapers.
Currently we can refresh workpapers from the workpapers, working trial balance, manual journals and settings screen, but when we open a specific workpaper that button is no longer available. Can we have this when working in a specific workpaper. This will save us having to click back when we are making adjustments

This is something we have intentions of developing out but don't have a timeframe on this just yet. I'll be sure to update you here as soon as there's progress. 🙂
