Invoicing - New invoicing layout is due for an update
With the changes and improvements to the design of the Purchases overview > Bills page and tabs quite some time ago, it would be expected and easier to navigate through Xero if these design changes reflected in the Sales overview > Invoices page. The invoices page (despite the new invoicing experience when opening an invoice) is still the old outdated design that the Bills used to look like.
The bills and invoicing used to be the same design and while it's great to have an improved design in the bills section, it is sometimes not intuitive that the invoicing has fallen behind and hasn't been updated.
I can't seem to find any mention of if/when this might change.

You’re not the only one who’s noticed that inconsistency. When one side of a workflow gets a modernized layout and the other keeps the legacy structure, it breaks the sense of continuity inside the platform. Moving between Bills and Invoices should feel seamless, especially since they’re conceptually parallel areas.
From a UX perspective, consistency reduces cognitive load and speeds up routine tasks. I’ve seen similar usability gaps discussed in simplified tool breakdowns on https://thepaint3ds.com, where even small layout mismatches can impact navigation flow. Aligning the Invoices overview with the updated Bills design would likely improve clarity and overall efficiency without requiring users to relearn core actions.
