Subheadings/Titles for notes
Enabling subheadings/title for notes on the notes page. This was really helpful in the old workpapers as you could easily navigate to specific areas

Workpapers : Notes export
Workpapers - Notes
It would be great if the account name would also be visible when exporting the notes section from Workpapers. The screenshot is from a download done just now.
The export to text only extracts the comments, not an account code or name.

Enable Review Actions From the Working Trial Balance
Allow reviewers to access workpaper attachments for an account and to update the account status directly from the Working Trial Balance view.
Current Limitation
Our reviewers prefer working from the Working Trial Balance view. However, under the current functionality, they MUST navigate away from this view and open the Workpapers area to review attachments and mark an account balance as complete. These additional clicks add unnecessary time, and some reviewers find switching between sections disruptive and confusing. For simpler or low‑risk accounts, navigating away solely to mark the balance as reviewed is completely unnecessary.Proposed Improvement

Income tax reconciliatioin was incorrect
In the income tax reconciliation, we have identified two issues:
- After the income tax journal was posted, the current year income tax expense was incorrectly included again in the net profit before tax calculation. This should be excluded.
- In the balance sheet income tax reconciliation, the income tax provision has been recorded on the debit side, which is incorrect. It should be presented on the credit side. This will need to be corrected.

Workpapers - Pull through bank account name and partial account number
It would also be useful if the bank name and a partial account number could be pulled through to help identify accounts where a client has many bank accounts.
2 votesHi team, this idea has been created off the back of this earlier idea raised in community.
Although this isn't in our direct plans right now, we're keen to better understand interest for this directly so we can consider in future planning.
If there is any progress we'll share an update here.

The Ability to Group Shareholders' Current Accounts by Shareholder
In the classic Workpapers, we had the ability to be able to group shareholder's accounts by shareholder to get the net balance, by changing the group name in the trial balance. This ability has disappeared in the new workpapers, which makes it difficult to get a view of beneficiary accounts in the workpaper stage (i.e., when trying to ensure a beneficiary has been correctly paid out their account balance). Would be great to have this feature back.

Workpapers | Fixed Assets - Depreciation date
On the FA workpaper - show what date depreciation has been run up to, so can ensure it is complete for the period under review, which is not always clear from FA rec report or Depn schedule report. As a reviewer if not need to go to Xero to check.
6 votesThanks for sharing this idea and highlighting how helpful clear visibility of the depreciation date would be for Workpapers review. We are still working on the new Workpapers experience and this idea will help us gauge interest. Please share it with others who’d benefit so they can add their support and use cases here as well.

Show if Xero period is locked
It would be good to visibly show the period Xero is locked up to. As a reviewer I want to know Xero is left locked without leaving workpapers to check.

Workpapers - Indication of journals that are set to Rollover
Hi, I have able to find the ability to rollover the manual journal in drafts. However, once you select to have it rollover, you are unable to see that the journal is set for rollover. Would it be possible to add a text message of 'set to rollover' in the Rollover column so different people on the job are aware of the status of the journals.
2 votesThanks for popping back to update your idea, Bradley. I've shifted this across to gaining support so we can get a greater ideas of the interest in this here. We'll share if there are any plans made for surfacing an indication to help you identify where a journal is set to rollover.

Workpapers - Company Tax return import
I have been testing the company tax return import. I have accounts with negative balances - the bank overdraft for example, doesn't get posted to the current liabilities section of the tax return as a positive amount. It is posted as a negative.
I can see that the integration has the ability to exclude from integration but this is counter-intuitive to reducing manual data entry. The ability to post as a positive figure is available in the Xero import function.
4 votesThanks for your feedback here, Bradley. Understand how this improvement to the import would be useful to you here. While we don't have direct plans around this atm, we'll keep a close eye on interest from the community and share if there are any updates planned.

New Workpapers - Add sub-headings in checklist section
Ability to add in the checklist section more description/content in the checklist section of the workpaper lines. This would allow us to include essential sections required by the CPA, like Engagement Acceptance/Continuance and Knowledge of the Entity. I built these in the classic Workpapers. Too bad I can't carry over the Workpapers lines I built in the classic version. I attached a screenshot of one section in classic Workpapers showing a line, the guidance and comments.

Workpapers | Accounts receivable hotlink - link to summary report for reviewers
The current account receivables hotlink is the detailed report for Accounts receivable which can be very busy - ideally the summary report would be better for Reviewers who don't need to see the individual invoice level of detail.

Workpapers - Summary of statuses for reviewers
At the moment there is not a clear and concise summary that the Reviewers can see the status of all queries, client, internal and reviews which is annoying. The same for just having a fully complete tick box on the summary worksheet somewhere - this should obviously be changed if a refresh is done and any changes.

Workpapers - Only view related documents within a worksheet
Showing all documents uploaded when you are in individual Worksheet is too much noise. We only need to see the uploaded documents relating to that specific Worksheet not the full Workpaper pack.

Workpapers - Allocate and set up Folders in Report Code Category Order
Suggest Allocating the separate Profit Loss and Balance Sheet Accounts into Folders in Report Code Category order similar to how they are listed in the "Working Trial Balance". That way we can adjust the Report Codes to the move the accounts to their desired Folders in Xero Workpapers.

Workpapers - Add Related Account filter to Account Transactions
Add Related Account for Xero Work Papers so you can create or set specific Xero Account Transactions so that you can work with related account work papers. You could then sort, filter, and group transactions by Related Accounts based on date ranges. This would mean Xero Work Papers is the place to easily review and assess the accuracy of the other side of transactions and quickly see issues. It also means you can report on a Bank Account's Debits and Credits, grouped by Related Account Number. And then, on demand, click the related account in Xero and investigate/review it. This…

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…
