  1. Currently when an individual set of workpapers are marked as Completed, they can be then changed by a Preparer without it alerting the reviewer that the Workpaper is now not reviewed for that change.

    Once a workpaper is marked as completed, if any change occurs after this, it should be changed to In Progress immediately automatically (similar to how it changes from Not Started to In Progress). This would prevent that Workpaper from being changed without the reviewer being alerted.

    I would have deep concerns about knowing all Workpaper integrity has been maintained without this feature or a feature like…

  2. In old workpapers, I could see all supporting documents in the workpaper in the supporting documents section at the bottom of the workpaper (and could see all of the Queries in the workpaper, in the queries section at the bottom of the workpaper).

    Now I have supporting documents, linked to accounts in the workpaper and not only are the icons tiny and they don't show up when you click on the paperclip, they don't show in the supporting documents section at the bottom of the workpaper! Why?!

  3. In old workpapers, if there was an attachment, the documents icon was blue, if I clicked it, I could add more or see what is attached.

    In new workpapers, if there is an attachment, the paperclip is the same and there is a little number to indicate the attachments. If I click it, it opens the Attach document/URL window and I can't see/click on the already attached documents/URLs.

    Whyyyyyyy?

  4. We use different workpapers for a quarterly BAS than we do for the Annual. We would like the ability to create custom workpapers or specific checklists within workpapers for Quarterly Accounts/ BAS vs Annual ones.

  6. Aside from the fact that they are now miles apart, separated by a massive and unnecessary white wall of nothing.. the icons are too small (relative to the space available) and inconspicuous.

    Compare a Query on old workpapers to a Note on new workpapers.

    The old flag stands out like a sore thumb (as it should, it's a flag for a reason). Colour/contrast.

    The new note has changed the outline of the icon from black to light blue, coloured in the number blue (like the blue circle next to every account).

    This is not helpful.

  7. Profit distribution accounts might have an EXP in the report code (and Xero might force us to use Expenses as the account type in Xero).. but they're not expenses.

    Xero has split Revenue, COGS and Expenses across three workpapers.. but still lumped profit distribution accounts in Expenses.

  8. It's bad enough having 3 workpapers for the profit and loss... I can't change where any of the accounts go and now Wages (1 account) is split off into its own 😅

  9. After I click the paperclip icon to open the Attach document/URL popup window, I want to take my hand off my mouse and use my keyboard. I want it to show Attach URL by default (as I have requested in a separate product idea), but short of that I want to be able to tab through to where I need to go.

    After I click the paperclip icon to open the Attach document/URL popup window, I click tab and it selects buttons and fields behind the popup window... it should be offering options within the popup window.

  10. The buttons on the Note popup dialogue box are silly as.

    Most dialogue boxes have actions on the bottom right. If a negative action (cancel/close), it would be to the left of the main action.

    Add note button is middle left and miles from the bottom right.

    Bottom right is the Close button. Close button is also highlighted blue, rather than white.

    To point out how ridiculous this is.. as I am typing this idea, to the bottom right of the text box are two buttons, Cancel (white) on the left, and Post idea (blue) on the right...
