  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.
