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).

Ability to add our practice workpapers each year
Prefer to have one set of workpapers completed in a single software. Within Xero workpapers have ability to attach excel template to specific workpapers for completion eg live stock workpaper, overdrawn current account, hire purchase workpaper, etc.
The most important workpapers have calculations that are required outside of verifying an account balance. Eg those mentioned above.
If unable to have all workpapers in one place, it's easier to stay with current excel pack.6 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Workpapers - Show attachments in Supporting Documents section
When documents are attached to line items, could they please also show in the Supporting documents section? Currently, they only appear again if you click the line item.
For example, on the Bank Reconciliation workpaper, a statement has been attached to each bank account line, but when the workpaper is opened again, you only know something is attached due to the icon under Actions. You have to click on the line item for the supporting document to appear below (which isn't intuitive).
Everything attached should show in the Supporting documents section, as per the old Workpapers.

New Xero Workpapers - Delete and modify period of Workpapers created in error
I created a new Workpapers and selected the financial year (eg. 1 Aug 2024 to 31 Jul 2025) during creation, but after creation completes the wrong period shows (31 Jul 2024 to 30 Jul 2025). First - There should be a way to change the financial period after creating? Second - Should be able delete the workpaper if created in error. Admin rights restriction should be applied to both.

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…

Being able to apply a change of Reviewer to all individual pages in the Workpaper pack
Ability to apply a change of Reviewer to multiple pages in the Workpaper pack.
We have a pool of reviewers so do not know at the time a Workpaper pack is created who is going to review the job. A "generic" reviewer is selected on initial set up.
When a reviewer picks up the job they change the settings to their name. This does not automatically update each page in the workpaper so you then have to change it for each tab you go into. Would be great to have the option of bulk updating all the pages at once.3 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

New Xero Workpapers - Income Tax workpaper - fix Net profit link (doesn't factor in trust distributions)
The Net profit amount that pulls through to Xero Workpapers treats trust distributions to beneficiaries as expenses. They should be excluded (as it does with Income Tax Expense and Dividends Paid).

Problems with being a Reviewer using the New Workpapers
Reviewing Workpapers - when reviewing the file I have found two problems - first - when scrolling through the various workpapers using the arrow keys in the top right- it is including ones that are essentially excluded from needing to be completed - i.e. the shaded out ones on the front. 2nd - I have to click into each attachment - rather than using an arrown key to see each seperate attachment like we do at the moment.

Include Journals in PDF
It was a very useful feature in Classic workpapers for the journals that were created to be included in the workpapers pack that was exported. We have found that journals aren't exported in New Workpapers. Including this is key to ensure we have an accurate record of changes made to a file by the accountant, especially if the client leaves and we no longer have access to the records.

Need to see full p&l not split
Need to see a full p&l rather than it being split between Revenue, Expenses, COS and Motor expenses. We need to be able to see an overall position especially from a Reviewers perspective

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.
