New Workpapers - Create custom design workpapers
The ability to create and edit our own workpaper to add to the pack (like what we could do in the old workpapers)
171 votesThanks to everyone who's shared feedback here. Over time, the conversation has broadened from the original request: the ability to create custom-designed workpapers, similar to Classic Workpapers, with tailored calculation rows, sections and mapped account codes.
This is something we're actively exploring and will share another update soon. We’ll use this idea to track that broader customisation capability.
Requests for specific worksheets are best tracked separately:
- Inter-entity loan workpapers
- Division 7A loans
- Motor vehicle private use and FBT
- Franking credits - add payment dates
- Investment income
- Profit appropriation/distribution
Tracking these separately helps us understand interest, needs and use cases. Please make sure to add your vote to these if of interest, or start a new idea for a new one.

Workpapers - Delete / Reset workpaper
it seems that it is not possible to delete or reset a workpaper. For example, I created a workpaper pack for a reacl client to test. I since updated the templates, and want to reset/delete/recreate the workpaper so its i the updated format. I've messaged Xero support and they have advised this isn't possible. This means I'm not stuck and cant use this workpaper for this client. They suggested I leave a comment here.
51 votesHi everyone, thanks for the additional feedback we’ve received on this idea.
We understand that workpaper packs may sometimes need to be updated when the wrong financial year, dates, accounting method, template, or staff assignments are selected.
Earlier this year, we released the ability to edit pack settings, helping teams make these necessary changes without starting again. Template updates can also be applied to existing packs by refreshing them.
We recognise that there are cases where a pack may have been created for the wrong client or needs to be removed entirely. We’ll continue using your feedback to understand where deletion would provide the most valuable outcome, while also considering how we mgiht cater in the event a pack is accidentally deleted.
I’ll share any further updates here.

New Workpapers - Individual tax return
Is there any plan to do a workpaper pack for individual tax returns, linking to the tax return?
27 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

Workpapers Spreadsheet - formatting, cell selection, size of sheet
Can the spreadsheet have more formatting options - like borders so that you can have a top and bottom border on a total cell? Bold type?
Also, it needs more functionality like being able to select the range of cells to sum =sum(select cells using mouse) instead of manually typing in the range.
When you copy and paste from Excel formatting is lost and you cannot add additional lines past where the data pastes if past row 20 (The data itself can paste to additional rows). If data goes to row 19, you cannot insert additional lines past 20 either.
21 votesHi team, we’ve just released the ability to import an .xlsx as spreadsheet template in the settings for each worksheet.
We get this doesn't remove some of the restrictions mentioned in the comments here, but hope you can appreciate we're taking steps to remove friction of having to work with these limitations every day. Thanks.

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…
1 voteThanks for sharing her, Brett.
As we continue to make improvements to new Workpapers bringing transactional Data into Xero Workpapers is something we have our sights on.
I'll keep you updated on development for this here.
