Homepage - Ability to color code the cards
Suggestion: please allow us to color code the cards. This would help visually organize things. For example, bank accts one color, Invoices and Bills another, analysis another color.
7 votesThanks for your suggestion, Karin. Appreciate there are different ways customers find the homepage would work best for them.
We'll track the interest in being able to colour code cards from your idea here. This isn't something we have plans for atm, but I'll be sure to share if there are any updates.

New Homepage - Formatting options in widgets
I wanted to share some thoughts on the latest Xero homepage redesign after seeing a comment that really resonated with me about how much space the widgets are now taking up and how much more cluttered it is now. From a web design point of view, it’s just not intuitive, it’s cluttered and feels way too full, especially compared to the previous version where the widgets sat nicely in the centre and only took up maybe 50% of the page.
I genuinely believe the homepage experience could be dramatically improved with just a few changes:
Simplify the default data shown…
7 votesHi team, thank you for sharing back with us on the new homepage here.
Right now we are working on developing some of the widgets to allow more control of the view and information you see. As an example we are developing the Invoices owed to you and Bill to pay widgets to provide the ability to resize and change the information that is shown.
We will keep you updated on the release of these here.

New Homepage - Ability to add custom widget
Customisation of widget request, ie Add New Widget >> Select certain costs >> Select certain incomes. Show chart month by month.
7 votesThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us.
Right now, the new Xero homepage doesn’t support creating your own fully custom widgets. You can customise which of the existing widgets you see, change their order and (for some widgets) adjust their size, but there isn’t a way to build and plug in a brand‑new widget type yet.
We have moved this to Gaining support, while we can’t promise if or when custom widgets will be available, votes and comments on this idea are really valuable, so please keep adding any specific examples of what you’d like a custom widget to do. That kind of detail really helps our product team when they’re exploring what to build next.

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…
7 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.

Homepage | Bank account - Add year to the date format
Add the year to the date that is showing on the bank account widget. It gets confusing sometimes. Having 15 Feb 2026 would be easier than Feb 15.
7 votesAppreciate users have differing preferences in how they'd like dates to be formatted in Xero, Leanne. We don't have any plans for changing this at present but will get a better sense of the wider interest from the community here.

Homepage - Add new bank accounts to homepage by default
Automatically show new bank accounts on the Homepage
When a new bank account is added in Xero, it currently defaults to being hidden until the user manually clicks “Add to homepage.” This creates an extra, unnecessary step.
Suggestion:
Have newly added bank accounts appear on the Homepage by default, with the option to hide them if users prefer. This would streamline the setup process and reduce friction for users who expect new accounts to be visible immediately.7 votesHi team, after further discussion with our product team we're going to open this idea back up and would like to better understand the wider interest for being able to add new bank accounts as a default to the Homepage.
As mentioned in our last update at present.
- When you add your very first bank account to your Xero org, this automatically appears as a widget on your Homepage
- After this, additional bank accounts you add prompt a banner so you're made aware there are new accounts, and you can Edit your Homepage to add each of them as a widget to your view and arrange where these sit on the page.
We'd be really keen to get further insights through your feedback here on why showing every bank account by default would be most useful to your business, as opposed to being able to Edit the homepage and add…

Homepage - Month to date, year to date sales widget
Cash in and out is very helpful, however, any organisation that offers lead time and credit terms is often more focused on sales rather than income. There is no month to date, year to date sales widigit.
I get that the home page can't be all things to all people, but in part you are trying to make it a KPI dashboard without fully facilitating the needs of many.
7 votesAppreciate the feedback here, team. As mentioned by some there is the Chart of Accounts watchlist that will help you get a quick snap of your sales account however appreciate wanting a separate widget for this and we'll continue to track interest this idea grows. I'll be sure to update if there are any plans made.

Homepage | Task list - Include bank Feed status warnings
Task List - Add "Refresh/Renew Bank Feed" warnings to the task list (limited to banks shown on the dashboard to prevent unnecessary warnings on old accounts). The task list is incredibly useful and for my own Homepage, I have moved the bank accounts to below the rest of the tables to try to maximise the usefulness of the homepage. This makes the warnings less visible.
7 votesUnderstand how having notifications for bank feed refreshes added to the Task list could be helpful, and great to hear you find this widget useful. 🙂
Our product teams are taking on board all feedback around the new homepage and I'll be sure to share if there are any plans made to add this, here.

Homepage - Easily view over 50 bank accounts
Today I learned with shock that the new dashboard only supports 50 bank accounts for display. Unfortunately, we have more accounts which on the new dashboard layout will not be shown. That is not good for our organisation. The workaround via the "list of accounts" is cumbersome and definitely not an improvement.
If more than 50 bank accounts cannot be displayed on the dashboard or "Home" page, would it be possible to have FOLDERS on the dashboard like folders on a PC desktop or on a smartphone? Then I could allocate around 10 bank accounts into one folder according to…
7 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on viewing more than 50 bank accounts on the homepage. We appreciate you explaining how important this is for organisations managing larger numbers of accounts.

Homepage | Bank account wdget - Showing reconciled when there are items to reconcile
The new layout is harder to follow multiple bank accounts and its says "reconciled" when you still have items to reconcile which is confusing. You need to look for the green reconcile button and ignore the word reconciled.
7 votesHi team, we appreciate the feedback on the bank account widget here and I have made sure this is shared back with our product team. As soon as I have any updates I will let you know here. Thanks

Organisation Settings - Allow customisation of company name abbreviations (initials)
The 3 letters that are by the company name are automatically chosen by Xero, we should be allowed to change this to something relevant, for example, my company is called ACR Fabrications Ltd, common sense would dictate those 3 letters should be ACR yet xero has chosen AFL which is obviously the first letter of each part but that's not relevant to my company

Dashboard - Add 'Financial Year' option to the Profit and Loss widget
Like others, I think the options listed for profit and loss on the hompage are too restrictive. The app has better options. I want to know where I stand financially including upcoming payments (to distribute profits) so I tend to use the "Finincial year" P&L rather than "year to date". The app has this but the homepage doesn't.
7 votesHi there,
Thanks for your feedback! It makes complete sense that you’d want the same visibility on your desktop as you have on your mobile app, especially when you're trying to track your financial position for the full year.
I’ve classified this as Gaining Support. While you can see this data by clicking through to your full Profit and Loss report, I agree that having a "Financial Year" toggle directly on the Dashboard widget would be a great efficiency win.
I've updated the title of your idea to "Dashboard - Add 'Financial Year' option to the Profit and Loss widget" to help other users find and vote for it.

Homepage - Net cash movement line overlay for Cash In & Out widget
Add a net cash movement line (cash in minus cash out) overlaid on the Cash In & Out widget.
This would let business owners instantly see whether cash is actually building or eroding over time, without running reports or exporting data.
A net cash overlay (or toggle) would make the dashboard far more useful for real-world cashflow decision-making.
7 votesHi team, with Xero Analytics you'll be able to use the Cash flow manager to get useful predictions of your businesses financial overview, cash in and cash out.
Right now, we're in the process of also developing a widget that can surface some of this information to you directly from the homepage. I'll return to share once this is live. 🙂

Bank Account Font - Balance Difference and Reconciled
The font is too fine and hard to read. The font size of 'balance difference', 'reconciled' etc is a bit too small
7 votesAppreciate your feedback here Mary. While we don't have immediate plans around changing of the fonts, we'll gauge a sense of this from others in the community here. We will monitor this space for any updates!

Homepage - Reduce Motion for accessibility
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…

Manual Journal - Allow standard users access to Manual journal screen
For some reason "standard users" cannot see Manual Journals in the accounting menu.
Please allow standard users to access Manual Journals from the Accounting menu rather than having to go to reports. Its just a time waster.
7 votesHi team, although we'll continue to track interest in this idea we want to be open that only allowing access to manual journals fro. the Journal report is purposeful for Standard users.
It is recommended only users that have Adviser access should post manual journals, which is why navigating to this feature has been a little more restricted for the Standard role to help prevent accidental postings. We don't have any plans to change this in the short term but will keep a watch on the support in this here. Thanks

Investing in AI
I think the time has come to invest in AI, as a accounting software leader (Xero). Many people invest their money in AI software, like accountants, to do better / more accurate and faster budgets, forecasting (cash/accrual) mixed with different scenario's, transaction reconciliations and presentations of data/information and graphs. This usually in excel; outside the accounting software, where mistakes are likely to happen. I am not in IT, or software development/integrations, so I do not have an idea what this type of investment would cost, but my gut feeling is it would be worth it.
7 votesLike your forward thinking, Johan.
As Freya mentioned there is some AI going on in Xero already with the way Xero makes suggestions to help you reconcile your bank account.
We recently shared some insights with our customers on our approach to generative AI with Xero and you can read more about this on our blog.
Later this year you'll see Just ask Xero (JAX) be introduced and I'll round back to share once this is available.

Quotes - Restrict users to send quotes but not invoices
Currently, due to the lack of an approval option for a quote (which is a different product idea), I will need to provide the quote creator the right to send quotes directly to customer without reviewing (to avoid having another user to have to login, after being notified per email/whatsapp about the draft created, to review the drafted quote and send to client - very inefficient process). Once I provide an user the right to send quotes, they also have the immediate right to send sale invoices although the approval for a invoice is a non-negotiable. It creates the risk…

Dashboard - Add aged debtor watch list to Dashboard
It would be good to have the ability to add a customer watchlist to the dashboard so that businesses can see when customers have overdue invoices or reached their credit limits so credit credit control can be improved. I personally don't like the email reminders as that doesn't work for our business model so I feel like a watchlist on the dashboard would be good.

Conversion balances - Add a field for notes/description
It would be really helpful if there was a way of adding a description/note to conversion balances. For example, if a creditor balance relates to a specific loan, it would be useful to be able to note this somewhere. Currently, reports only show 'conversion balance' as the description for the transaction and it isn't possible to add a description to the conversion journal. It makes it difficult to keep track of historic debtors and creditors and this information needs to be kept elsewhere, duplicating work.
