Workpapers - Review approvals
Allow each reviewer to approve line items. There are now three people that can be assigned to a workpaper but they all share the same 'status dropdown'.
We need to be able to see the preparer, reviewer and final review separately.

Workpapers - Create income tax journal from within Tax reconciliation
In the old workpapers, you had the ability to generate the income tax journal to post to the Xero file. It would be very useful to have this option again in the new workpapers.
27 votesHi Bradley and others that have supported this idea. You may have seen we have made a recent update to allow journals to be posted from individual workpapers.
It'd be great to check in with you here and see if this change meets the needs you have in this idea? We welcome your feedback

If the purpose of new work paper is for seamless compliance, should it not have the following features:

All these features are available in the old/classic work paper.

Workpapers - BAS Workpapers option
Automatic ATO BAS data extraction.
Will Xero be building the GST workpaper by extracting ATO BAS/IAS lodgments into the workpaper. Building the GST reconciliation manually with lodged data is time consuming. The data is there on the Portal, surely it can be dragged into the GST reconciliation workpaper automatically. This would save sooo much time. I know of firms investing heavily into robotics to solve this problem.
20 votesThanks for your idea on BAS workpapers being something you would like to see in our future roadmap! Your suggestion is gaining support and aligns with our focus on continuous development. We appreciate feedback and ideas like yours help us shape improvements that benefit both our teams and customers. Please keep sharing your feedback and encourage others to add their support!

Pasting in from the snipping tool - critical function for us.
Our firm uses the snipping tool to snip in the source documents/balances. It would be fantastic if you could copy and paste into the new workpapers (without having to save and upload).

Workpapers - Delete uploaded documents
When a document is uploaded then removed from a workpaper, it stays in the background when "Attach document" is selected. We need to be able to delete these if it was added by mistake or outdated.

New Workpapers - Individual tax return
Is there any plan to do a workpaper pack for individual tax returns, linking to the tax return?
17 votesHi Chris, apologies as returning to your idea here and checking in with our product team I can confirm it is not currently possible to create Workpaper packs for individuals unless they have a Xero subscription.
This is something our team intend to look into longer term, and I'll be keep you updated of any progress surrounding this here. Thanks

Prepayment Workpaper - Amortisation calculation
The prepayment workpaper should have the facility to calculate the amount to amortise which was there in previous Xero Workpapers.
24 votesHey thanks for raising this Idea with us regarding amortisation options in the New Workpapers calculator. We have reviewed this and moved it to Gaining Support, this means that others can vote and comment on this Idea. We will be watching the progress of this Idea and any updates will be posted here. Thanks again we appreciate your feedback on the New Workpapers.

Workpapers - Ability to add dates to the Franking Credits workpaper
The franking credits workpaper is very handy but is almost pointless when preparing the tax return as you need to go back to the source documents to obtain the dates of payment. When ideally prefilling from the Tax Office, having the dates come through or being able to add the dates manually will assist with compiling the tax return.
21 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on adding dates to the Franking Credits workpaper.

Workpapers - Display variance amount for updated account balances
Whilst the 'Updated' yellow tag on the Workpaper and specific account is useful, it would be an improvement to also show the difference between the approved workpaper and the new updated account balance after the balances have been refreshed. It will make it very simple to identify the updates needed for the workpaper.
17 votesHi Chris, thanks for sharing your thoughts on workpaper variance displays. It’s helpful to understand how seeing the difference between approved workpapers and updated account balances could support your workflow.
The community team has reviewed your idea and moved it into Gaining support, so it’s now open for votes and comments. If you’re able to add a bit more detail about your use case, it may help others understand the value and give the product team clearer context.
We’ll let you know if anything changes as the idea progresses.

Workpapers - don't calculate Tax on taxable income, when income is nil or it is a loss
Workpapers by default calculates negative tax when there is a loss. This is wrong.

Workpapers - enable Enter to activate Attach button after pasting a URL in Attach URL screen
After I paste the URL on the Attach URL screen, I want to click Enter.
My hands are on the keyboard. I don't want to have to move them to the mouse.
In original Workpapers if I pasted URL, tab Type the title and clicked Enter, it would Add link.

in the Workpapers dashboard, ability to change Status
Currently it defaults to In Progress and I can't seem to change that? At least in Old Workpapers we had On Hold, which we used if there were queries with the client and the job was stalled. And Done, when it was out for signing and waiting for the workpapers to be signed off. It would be really handy to a) be able to customise the Status, and then b) change it.
Also I tried the Notify feature and that didn't update Status to Ready for Review either
Otherwise looking at my client view of all workpapers in progress, we…9 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Workpapers - Lock Down Preparers from editing Completed Workpapers
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…

A1: Financial Statements & Tax Return - Ability to review and approve sections like in old workpapers
We are experiencing a significant workflow issue with the layout and functionality of A1 – Financial Statements & Tax Return in the new Xero Workpapers.
How We Used This Section in the Previous Workpaper Pack
In the previous version, this section functioned as our final review and sign-off hub. It included structured default notes such as:
Financial Statements
Company/Trust Tax Return
Individual Tax Returns
Final Email to Client
This setup allowed us to:
Upload final versions of each document
Review each document individually
Add review notes directly against that specific document
Tick off and approve each item only once it…

Workpapers - icons like Notes/Client Query are too small and colours too inconspicuous
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.
