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 We need to be able to delete these if it was added by mistake or outdated.

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…

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.

Workpapers - Fix Income Tax workpaper that incorrectly shows current year June PAYG installment
Despite the fact I raised this years ago, it was ignored when building the new Workpapers (ironically, this workpaper is one of the few that mimics the original Workpapers layout).
The Income Tax workpaper (attached):
a. correctly shows 4 x current year PAYG Instalments in the 2025 Tax to pay/(refund) section
b. correctly shows the prior year June PAYG Instalment in the Balance sheet income tax reconciliation section
c. incorrectly automatically includes the current year June PAYG Instalment (copied from the section above), in the Balance sheet income tax reconciliation section99.99% of the time, the prior year June…

Workpapers - show workpaper completion on the All Workpapers screen (and why are you using a checkbox for this?)
Lol. I just noticed that the checkbox in a Workpaper says Mark Accounts as Completed.
How unintuitive is that?
On the All Workpapers screen the checkbox is for selecting (and performing functions). This makes sense, even if it is ridiculous the million steps you need to take to deactivate a workpaper.
Why would you have the icon exactly the same but have the behaviour completely different?
Why wouldn't you put a heading above the checkbox to explain what it is for? (If it's for marking the account as completed)
Why can't we see that the accounts in that workpaper are…

Workpapers - Income Tax should never default to NA Not Applicable. Franking Credits should never default to Not Started for Trusts.
I started a Workpaper pack for a Trust.
Workpapers defaulted the statuses of the following workpapers:
- Income Tax: NA Not Applicable
- Franking Credits: Not StartedThis is silly. Income Tax applies to every entity.. Franking Credits only apply to companies.

Workpapers - Single workpaper for the Profit & Loss
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 😅

Workpapers - Different entity types
Need to be able to use workpapers for other entity types such as Trust, Partnerships, Sole Traders. At the moment everything is tailored towards companies, which isn't helpful when the business operates under a different structure. This also makes the export to the tax return useless

Ability to add our own status to workpapers
Instead of the generic status options, could we customise for our own firms. e.g. 'client queries'; 'draft with client' etc

Workpapers - Adjusted net profit (include draft journals) on the tax reconciliation
Adjusted net profit (after taking into account draft journals) should be shown on the tax reconciliation workpaper. At present, the journals need to be posted before the net profit amount on the tax reconciliation is updated. As we would like to review the journals before they are posted in Xero at the same time all other workpapers are reviewed, it would make sense that the draft journals also flow through to the tax reconciliation.

Ability to use right and left arrow on the keyboard to scroll across the screen
Not sure if it is just me, but to scroll across the screen in workpapers I need to first scroll all the way down, to the bottom scroll bar, then go across, then scroll back up. Doing that you also lose the column that says the account name, so need to remember its number. The left and right arrows on the keyboard don't scroll. Very ineficient both for reviewing and adding documents

Potential Balance Conflict
I love that Xero tries to extract the balance from the workpaper attached and compares it to the value in Xero but it doesn't work properly.
I have a director loan liability in the trial balance of $1,529.52. In workpapers it shows as ($1,529.52) as its a liability.
I have attached the Account Transactions report from Xero which confirms the balance. However, the report does not show the balance as a negative/credit. It just shows the balance as $1,529.52.
As a result workpapers thinks its out of balance because it's expecting a negative balance. It then gives me an incorrect…1 voteHi 👋 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.
