    Thanks for your idea here, Sergii. Really good to hear what our customers would find most useful to get a visual of from the homepage.

    We're beginning to track the interest for an Inventory widget that'd show low stocks from your idea here and I'll share if there are any updates.

  2. Custom reports as an option the Report drop down. I know we can favourite them, but if we have a lot of custom reports it's quicker just to go to the custom report page immediately and work from there.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on the new navigation experience, Hilary.It's great to hear our customers are familiarising themselves with the new layout.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Our product team are paying close attention to the ideas and feedback we are receiving on this, and we'll continue to track the interest closely.

  3. The new tabs are nominated as Purchases and Sales but some of their sub tabs go beyond that. I would prefer to label them Payments and Receipts

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on the new navigation, John. Great to hear the changes that would help our customers most.

    We'll start to understand the interest from others in community that would also find that terminology more useful from your idea here.

    Our product teams are considering all feedback closely and I'll share if there are any updates.

  4. I would like to see if outstanding sales invoices were emailed or printed & posted by traditional mail.

    Thanks for sharing how we could make the new homepage more impactful for you, Mark.

    It'll be good to understand if this is something others would also find useful from your idea here. We'll share if there are any updates.

  5. Hi Xero Team,

    I’m really disappointed to discover that the Xero Mobile App doesn’t provide any way to view the Balance Sheet - a core financial statement that forms half of any set of accounts and is the backbone of understanding a business’s position.

    As a property developer, tracking CAPEX spends per project is critical, and not having quick access to this information on the go is a significant limitation. Even a simple dashboard or quick-glance view in the app would make a huge difference for users like me who rely on Xero to manage their businesses efficiently.

    We all…

    Appreciate your feedback here, James. It's good to hear the sort of information our customers would find most handy on the go.

    This isn't something we have direct plans for atm, but we'll get a sens of the interest for viewing the Balance Sheet in the Xero Accounting app from the community here and I'll let you know if there are any plans made.

  6. Critically important to our business is being able to easily view 'notes' on overdue invoices next to their overdue amount in a list. No additional click thorughs with each individual invoice number as is the current system.

    Knowing when a reminder was sent and being able to view what their latest response was in a list form would massively help with managing unpaid invoices.

    We create separate spreadsheets to track overdue invoices and bad debt which is inefficient.

    This should be resolved with a quick view in the dashboard to ensure better debt management.

    Thanks for sharing how we could make the new Homepage more useful for you, Harry.

    It'll be good to understand the volumes of users that would also find this useful from your idea here - Make sure to also share your idea if you have colleagues that'd also find this useful and they can vote here too.

    Our product teams are paying close attention to the feedback we receive on this here and I'll share if there are any updates.

  7. Widget or badge to show if there have been new files uploaded by the client or colleagues since your last logon.

    Hi team, we're pleased to share an update as we're currently developing a new homepage widget to help give you an overview of documents in files and help you take quick actions.

    I'll come back to share once this is ready and begins to launch!

  8. I would like the Business Performance graph to remain. Its a useful visual and instant reminder of the performance.

    Additionally adding the VAT liability to the home screen would be extremely useful. Yes I know it changes daily, however a good insight for business and management of cash flow in an instant (without having to produce reports).

    The contents of the proposed Task Bar is just a duplication of information that's already on the home screen therefore not useful to add them collectively on 1 widget. To be able to add our own written task and reminders on a calendar…

    Really good to hear you exploring the new homepage, Estela.

    We ask that each idea is contained to one feature request so that it's easy for other members to understand what they're voting for and we can best keep you updated on any progress on a feature. I've slightly amended the title of your idea here for the first you've shared on the Business Performance dashboard.

    We appreciate hearing how you find this useful, however we want to be upfront that we don't have intentions of adding this to the new Homepage, to make way for new features that will be coming soon. You'll be able to continue accessing key information from the Business Performance Dashboard page.

    The Tax & Reporting widget has been replaced by a new sales tax widget, and depending on your region this will be available in the next 12 months. We also have an idea…

  9. At a glance, a running total of VAT and Corporation tax due. As a small business, this would be very helpful for planning. Crunch Accounting had this on their homepage and it is the only thing i miss about their very clunky system!

    Hi Lyn, thanks for adding your feedback on our prototype for the new Xero homepage in regards to running totals for VAT/GST/BAS and Corporation/AU/NZ Tax, this is incredibly valuable to the team as they make the refinements.

    We know this addition would help you keep a closer eye on your business's financial health. We appreciate your continued feedback on the prototype homepage and encourage you to leave more feedback for us.

  10. As an accountant I prefer the Reporting and Accounting tabs together, under one tab as it has always been. It would slow me down, if I had to search for accounting tools/reports under different tabs.
    Please keep it simple!

    It's interesting to hear how our different customers find the navigation most useful for their needs. Thanks for sharing, Laszlo.

    We have a close eye on all the feedback we're receiving on this new experience here in the forums and we'll get a good sens of the interest from others that'd prefer this view from your idea here.

    We will share if there are any updates.

  11. Filter out expense claims from Bills Awaiting Payment

    I input my own money occasionally into the business & don't require paying back, so the expense claim is left "open" & shows up on Bills awaiting payment - thus confusing the amount owing to Bills I have outstanding.

  12. Looking at the new interface at https://www.xero-reimagined-nav-hp.com/ the widgets fly in from the side, and the charts all animate from zero to their full value. I have an accessibility requirement to have reduced motion, and have selected this option on my computer which the new Xero website is ignoring. Websites can use this selection as shown in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion and https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/css/C39. Can you please implement the best practice for accessibility, and ensure all users can comfortably use your updated website by removing unnecessary animation when requested with the reduce motion option? Many other websites include this accessibility feature which is…

    Really appreciate you sharing this feedback with us here, Michael. I've made sure to share this back with our product teams and we'll get a sense of the impact this has for others in community from your idea here.

    If there are any updates to share around this I'll make sure to give you an update here.

  13. A widget or chatbox where you can leave comments for accountant or business owner?

    Ability to strikeoff and clear the comments/tasks. Ability to add attachments like screenshots or even videos will be a great feature for this widget.

    This widget can sit on dashboard.

  15. Hi Kelly, concerning projects, I have a thought or idea in seeing HOT Projects or URGENT or PRIORITY Projects in the Projects drop down just like the drop down on the Reporting button that you have Favorite Reports when you create custom reports or when you favorite some of the standard ones. Thank you, John

    Thanks for sharing how you can see us developing the new navigation experience to further enhance this for you.

    Our product teams are taking all feedback we're receiving through the forums here into careful consideration as they keep planning their roadmaps.

    We understand our customers have different needs when it comes to menu options and will share if there are any updates on this with you here.

  16. I love the new homepage and how I can customize to make it less busy. I also love the Task widget. It would be great if there was a month end review widget showing a list of bank and credit card accounts with the last reconciliation date.

    Great to hear the information that would have the most meaning to you. Thanks for sharing through Xero product Ideas.

    Our product teams are carefully reviewing the feedback we're receiving from our customers on this new experience and if there are any updates we will let you know.

  17. Great Change
    Upcoming changes are very useful. However, a small suggestion re. the home page menu: As an Accountant in practice would like the following order.

    Home
    Accounting
    Sales
    Purchases
    Payroll
    Reporting
    Tax and
    Contacts.

    Interesting to hear the differing views in terms of the ordering here. Thanks for your feedback.

    We're paying close attention to everything our community is sharing about the new navigation here and if there are any plans made around the ordering we will let you know.

  18. On the Sales menu, I would like a sub-menu/fly-out to the right of Invoices with links to the Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment, Paid, and Repeating tabs on the Invoices page. This would enable me to go directly to the tab I want, saving a click or two, and reduce page load time instead of always landing on the default tab then having to click the one I actually want. Clicking Invoices should still go to the All tab. Same could be done on the Purchases menu for Bills.

    Alternatively, instead of a sub-menu/fly-out, add Draft, Awaiting Approval, Awaiting Payment,…

    We appreciate you sharing feedback on the changes we could make to further enhance the new navigation for you, here!

    Understanding that sub menus or more levelled drop downs could be helpful in some places, this is an idea our product team have a close eye on.

    If there is any news I'll share an update with you all on this, here.

  19. Add a widget for tracking categories with current and prior month expenses against each or even the top 5 of each category.

    make the hope page printable to pdf and also for the user to be able to present it to a client or board.
