1 voteAppreciate the feedback on how we could improve these forums for your use, Vince. It'd be great to get more understanding of how being able to filter by vote would help you.
Right now, form within a forum or category there are a few sort options including Hot ideas, Top or New.
Top will sort all ideas within that forum or category by most to least amount of votes. Appreciate, there is no way to do this from search atm though.
If you can share any further details of why this would be helpful we'd love to hear it. Thanks

Giving a user rights to edit customer details should entail them to have access to export the customer list details to csv or excel
If a user has access to Invoices and Purchases and they have the ability to change Customer detail the role or an additional role should be to be able to export customer lists details as well as a seperate roll to access the age receivables.
This would give the Debtos managment role full access to follow up on all debtors and be able to update details for customers in bulk.

User Interface - Add custom tooltips to guide users through complex fields and workflows
I would like to see these across payroll, invoicing, etc. - all of Xero. It would be so helpful if admins could add tooltips to things to provide directions/instructions to staff. For example, a tooltip next to the "label" field in expense claims could tell staff what information this company wants in there to make that useful. Integrating tooltips could be a way to log compliance or chosen procedures/use across the platform. For example, putting a tooltip next to the options to add projects in expenses/invoices would help someone log guidance on when a project needs to be associated. Putting…
1 voteHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand why having the ability to add tooltips, directions, or instructional notes within workflows could be useful, especially when training teams or guiding users through data entry processes.
The idea is to allow users to add custom guidance alongside fields, helping provide context at the point of entry and reducing the need for separate instructions or follow-ups.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this workflow improvement useful.

Homepage - Add toggle to exclude opening balances from Chart of Accounts Watchlist widget
In the Chart of Account Watchlist we are wanting to track in year categories that have opening balances. We're changing the Chart of Accounts to make this fit but a toggle to include or exclude opening balances would be really handy so you can choose to see only true in year transactions
1 voteHi everyone, thanks for raising this idea. We understand why having the option to exclude opening balances from the Chart of Accounts Watchlist widget could be useful, especially when using the dashboard to monitor current-period activity.
The idea is to allow users to filter out opening balances from the Watchlist view, making it easier to focus on in-year movements and get a clearer picture of current account performance.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this dashboard improvement useful.

User Permissions - Update for Advisor role
Advisor role should be higher authority than standard, ie to be able to override locked period transaction without opening the period. Able to build new/custom report, submit BAS.
1 voteHi Dina, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand why having the Advisor role provide broader capabilities than the Standard role could be valuable for practices managing client files and completing higher-level accounting tasks.
Currently, some actions still require additional steps outside of the Advisor role, such as making adjustments to locked periods, creating custom reports, or completing certain compliance-related tasks. Having these capabilities available within the Advisor role could help reduce unnecessary workflow interruptions and better reflect the level of access expected from an Advisor user.
We appreciate the examples shared around how this impacts day-to-day practice workflows. I’ve updated the status of this post to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking feedback and gathering more votes.

Progressive Web App (PWA)
Make Xero a Progressive Web App (PWA)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_app
Gusto offers this
and many Google apps also
nice feature1 voteHi Douglas, appreciate you sharing how Xero could be a more powerful tool for you. We understand that a Progressive Web App (PWA) experience could be useful for those looking for a more app-like desktop workflow with quicker access and a dedicated workspace.
Xero is currently designed to run through your web browser, alongside our mobile apps, and a full PWA version is not currently on our roadmap. In the meantime, you can create a desktop shortcut using Chrome or Edge to open Xero in its own window, which can help keep your workflow separate from other browser tabs.
I’ve updated this post to Gaining Support as we are keen to continue tracking feedback and gather more insight from the community on how this would support their workflows.

Find and Recode - Warning that highlights impact when recoding tax type
Find and Recode should not be able to change tax type without fair warnings in Sales Invoices.
This is a risky feature to be used without warning. I have noticed that it doesn't change the sales invoice, which it shouldn't. But surprise was it could change any invoices selected no matter if those were already issued/ paid/ closed etc.
1 voteAppreciate the added detail, Ankit. Understand how an extra warning and drawing attention to the impact a change could make may help some users.
I've slightly edited the title of your idea and we'll get a sense from the wider community here that'd find this helpful (feel free to share with your own client too!)
It's not something we have planned at present, but will update you here if any are made. 🙂

Xero Accounting App - Access to Demo Company
Since its introduction, the Xero app has had a significantly positive impact on my clients, enhancing their overall accounting experience and improving efficiency in managing their finances. I greatly appreciate the value the platform continues to provide.
However, I would like to raise a concern regarding the absence of the demo company feature on the Xero mobile application. Currently, the demo company is only accessible via the web-based platform, which presents a challenge when demonstrating the app’s capabilities to prospective clients using mobile devices.
Having access to the demo company within the mobile app would greatly enhance the ability to…
1 voteThanks for sharing how useful the demo company can be to your clients, Anneline. I've shared your feedback with our product team and will share if there are any updates for this planned. In the meantime do share this with anyone that would benefit and can support your idea here 😊

Search - Add Logic and boolean operators
Would love to see the ability to make use of boolean operators within the search bar.
An example would be something like using the '|' character for an "OR" search where you can search for multiple terms and items match either term are returned.
Another example would be '&' (or another character that's not as commonly used in references/descriptions) for an "AND" search, where all terms entered must match - less useful but a nice-to-have.
Lastly, the ability to use "!" to do a "NOT" search and only display results that don't match the search term (useful for filtering out…
5 votesHi everyone, thanks for the engagement here so far. We understand you’re looking for more advanced search options, such as using AND, OR, and NOT operators, to help narrow down results when searching across your data.
Having more flexible search tools could make it easier to find specific transactions, contacts, or records without needing to manually filter through multiple results.
We'll continue to gather feedback and examples from the community.

AU Tax - Ability to have a Xero portal link to refer to all documents sent for e-sgning
I would like a link to the Xero portal where tax documents are sent for e-signing. Rather than having to find an email with the link to the Xero portal to e-sign tax documents, it would be helpful for clients to be able to simply click a link within Xero to go back to the Xero portal and see past signed documents or anything that is waiting to be signed.

Navigation - Embed a direct launch shortcut or link button to Syft Analytics
Can we get a link to log into Syft? We have a link to Hubdoc, why don't we have a link to Syft now?
1 voteHi Adam, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for a quicker way to access Syft Analytics directly from Xero, with a shortcut or link within the navigation to make switching between platforms easier.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community. 😊

User role - Limit read only access
I am going through a bad divorce and I have to give my ex wife read only access to my company file however i am going against court orders and not giving her access as i know she will take invoices, purchase orders and product sell and buy prices to my competitors once our settlement is complete.
I need xero to create a read only service that does not show invoices, purchase orders, bills, inventory and also removes the report tab. pretty much just allow her to see bank accounts and where money is getting allocated.
i really feel like…
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. Xero’s current roles (including Read only) are intentionally broad, but we know they’re often too ‘all or nothing’. We can’t give a timeline for specific changes to Read only yet, but the direction is definitely toward more configurable roles and tighter control over what view-only users can see.

User Permissions - Update for Standard Users
Standard user to be able to run and publish reports. Standard user to be able to prepare BAS but not submit (current set up), able to lock period but not modify locked period.

Navigation | Search - Show and select from recent search history
Have the search bar bring up a list of your most recent searches instead of having to re-type what you're after.
4 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand that having a quicker way to return to recent searches could help when moving between clients, transactions, and reports.
The suggestion is to add a recent search history dropdown in the global search bar, making it easier to revisit previous searches without re-entering the same details.
For now, opening commonly used items in separate browser tabs can help you move between workflows without losing your place. We’ll continue tracking this idea here so the community can share feedback and use cases to help shape future improvements.

Navigation - Multi-entity dashboard showing outstanding invoices/bills and unreconciled statement lines
I am a Xero user (not Practice Hub/XeroHQ) with user access to 33 Xero files. Each day I need to go into each individual Xero file if I want to check what Bills are coming due or outstanding sales invoices. Would it be possible to improve the My Xero screen which shows all the Xero files I have access to to be more like a dashboard showing what is outstanding/due and what tasks are needed across all Xero files. Thanks :)
1 voteHi Jessica, thanks for bringing this idea to our attention. We understand that a single view showing key items like outstanding invoices, upcoming bills, and unreconciled transactions across all your organisations could make it easier to prioritise work and keep on top of daily tasks without switching organisations.
We’ve updated the idea to Gaining Support while we continue tracking the interest and feedback shared here.

Inventory Permissions - Ability to set for a Standard user
New Inventory Permissions - Standard user automatically gets full control of inventory. Is it possible to customise this like you have in Invoice only to View,Edit etc?
Could we please request further customisation of inventory permissions?
Under the current permission structure (NEW), a standard user has the ability to edit and manage inventory. However, if reduced to Invoice only, they can view inventory items (which is helpful) but they lose the ability to view all invoices for a contact. This makes it difficult for them to properly review customer purchasing history.
At present, the only way to allow visibility of…
5 votesThanks for the additional feedback! Understand how having these permissions for the Standard role would be beneficial, and this is something we do want to support but don't have a clear timeframe for just yet.
I'll shift your idea for Accepted right now and keep you updated of any progress around this here.

Bills - Ability to include Sell Price from Products and Services when copying from an invoice
It would be helpful to us if we could enter a bill into Xero, submit it, and then have the option to copy all the line details of that bill to an invoice, using the Sell Price in Products and Services (if they exist as items in the catalogue).
Some of our customer transactions are literal 'we buy in, add mark-up, and sell on' and we currently have to enter both a bill and a separate invoice to achieve this. Being able to take a bill and copy it to a draft invoice, ready for adjustments, would be very useful…
