Homepage - Ability to cap / fix the number of columns
I have a wide screen (normal width for a monitor, but wide compared to a tablet or laptop) which facilitates 4 widgets horizontally (the limit, after some testing).
The widgets take up the entire space horizontally, leaving no space either side, and feels cramped as a result. This is a break from a pretty long-standing web-design principle to which even the page I'm typing this suggestion into adheres (having about 10-15% margin/padding either side of your main content where space allows).
I'd love the option to cap the number of widget colums to 3 instead of 4 (keeping the width…
187 votesHi everyone, we appreciate and want to thank everyone for feedback on the responsiveness of the new Homepage. This has been shared back with our product teams as they continue to develop this experience.
At this stage, there are no plans to fix the number of columns when using the Homepage. However, our team will continue to monitor usage on this closely.
One recent change we’ve introduced is that the Homepage layout can be saved at each screen size.
For example, if you set up and save the Homepage layout for your laptop and then move to a larger monitor you’ll see this adapt. However, if you ‘edit’ the Homepage and save the layout separately from your monitor Xero will remember the layout for each screen size. You should only need to do this once for each screen you use.
We’re looking at enhancing the edit layout experience soon to…

Homepage - Set up multiple views (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced)
Have a few options so a basic user can cut down on the noise and just have bank accounts and the profit graph, for a new user this would be overwelming.
406 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the attention this idea has been getting. It's really good to hear how we can continue to improve the Homepage for our differing customers needs. We understand not all the widgets maybe useful to every user, and the 'Edit homepage' button will let you add or remove widgets to reduce what you see on the Homepage.
Taking on board feedback we're looking at the sizing of widgets and you'll find the 'Chart of Accounts' and 'Cash in and out' widgets are now smaller by default with an option to 'Make larger' - You can follow further updates for this on the idea here.
We have plans to dig deeper into possible 'view' options (like the different levels of views being asked here) in the new year and I'll share further updates here when this gets picked up. 🙂

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…
6 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.

Permissions - Auditor roles that allows read only access to everything
We're auditors and some of our clients are having issues around providing consistent access to everything as they don't want us to have read-write access, and we don't want that either. What we'd like is a user class for auditors/regulators which is read only and allows access to everything.
43 votesThank you all for sharing your feedback here on your needs for read-only access across Xero. We appreciate this would be especially useful for auditors and other reviewers.
Our product teams are giving this need close consideration as they continue developing permissions across Xero.
While it isn’t currently in the delivery pipeline, we’ll share any updates as this work evolves.

Demo Company - Clear all, don't reset, optional data reload and cloning
This idea has been raised again and again but XERO isn't listening!!!
The demo company is a great idea, but it makes no sense to automatically reload all the "duff" data every 30 days.
It's VERY simple to achieve a very useful and flexible feature, by....
1) Be able to clear all the data in the Demo Company
2) Make the 30 day reload of useless data optional
3) Enable cloning of an existing organisationWe need to be able to test imports, features etc. and be able to return the "demo company" to EMPTY and if required to restore…
22 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea and engaging with us on this in Xero Product Ideas.
We can see the value in making the demo company more practical for testing, especially in being able to have greater control over clearing data, managing resets, and using a more relevant set of information to validate changes with confidence.
We have intentions of developing this area, and while this specific idea's not been roadmapped at this time, it's been highlighted and will be carried forward for thoughtful consideration in product planning.
If there are any updates we'll be sure to share with you all here.

Xero Expense - Assign Approver for multiple submitters
Would love to see the option to assign an expense approver to multiple expense submitters or even an 'Approvalmax' approver matrix function added to Xero Expenses. Currently using Xero Expenses to administer over 100 employees expenses and need stronger controls than central finance approving all. Happy to help design/ test!
316 votesHi everyone, we appreciate the number of users that'd like to see more mechanisms to assign and control who approves specific employee's claims.
Our product teams have a close eye on this idea, and while this feature is not in the roadmap atm, they'll keep reviewing this as they continue to plan and prioritise work for Expenses. So, if there us any shift in status we'll share an update to keep you all informed on the idea, here.

User Permissions - Access to reconcile without viewing balances
It would be really useful if you could give a user permission to be able to reconcile and post bank transactions, but not see the bank balance.
353 votesHi community, your ongoing interest in giving users the ability to reconcile without viewing account balances is welcomed.
We understand why this level of bank permission control matters. As recently mentioned in my updates on this idea, while we do have current work for user roles underway there is more complexities to developing permissions within the banking space and this isn't on the immediate roadmap.
As we continue our journey to evolving roles within Xero we'll be sure to share any progress for permissions in bank accounts with you all, here.

Email Settings - Ability to have separate reply-to email address
Ability to have separate ‘Reply-to’ email addresses within the same Xero organisation.
Purpose: Users can easily change the email address that they’d like to use when sending email from Xero, rather than having to go through settings to change it.
390 votesHi everyone, though there isn't any progress to share on this idea we do want to provide and update for you all and thank you for engaging with us about this here.
We understand the desire and needs for being able to change or set a separate reply to email address when sending from your Xero organisation.
We're continuing to make improvements to sending of invoices in Xero however at this point our roadmaps does not extend to the email settings specifically.
This continues to be an area we're interested in diving deeper into in the long term and we'll be sure to share as soon as there's movement.
For the time being the only way to change the Reply-to email is to update this on the email settings screen prior to sending your transaction and change it back post sending. Thanks

MFA | Add support for Yubikey
Please can you add support for Yubikeys, the development webpage is here:
79 votesThanks for your recent comments, and for continuing to support this idea, everyone. We appreciate the passion here, and I’m sorry it’s taken a while to return with another update.
Since our last post, we’ve made progress with passkey authentication through mobile access. Looking ahead, we also intend to explore desktop passkeys later this year.
When this work does get picked up, Yubikey passkeys will be considered, however we can’t confirm at this stage whether they’ll definitely be included. As soon as we have more concrete news to share, we’ll update you on this thread.

Navigation - Return to previous screen after viewing/editing a transaction
Ability to return to the previous screen after the user edited a transaction.
Purpose: To make users easily continue working on the previous page rather than having to navigate from the different page again.
121 votesHi everyone, thanks for all your support and feedback of how changes in navigation could help your use of Xero. While not across all areas of the product there are some updates in Bills that we wanted to share and may help the needs of some in the idea here.
We've launched Bills quick view where there's now an eye icon within the line of the bills list. From here you'll find more ease in viewing, and more recently being able to edit bills from this view without having to leave the list, meaning you can simply make adjustments and move from one bill to the next.
We'll continue to explore and develop solutions like this to help our customers get more out of Xero on the go. I'll keep you informed of other updates that could enhance your experience, here.

Homepage - Show Purchase Orders
Show purchases orders on the dashboard, as per this thread! Would be really useful to see what is approved but not billed at a glance. https://central.xero.com/s/question/0D51N00004oQgTxSAK/is-it-possible-to-show-your-purchase-orders-on-the-dashboard?t=1652190558049&searchQuery
84 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest being able to see the information that is most important to you or a specific user from the homepage.
Our product teams are paying close attention to the feedback and what would be most useful to our customers as they continue to develop this experience. Being upfront, Purchase orders widget is not in the roadmap atm, but we will be sure to share of there are any plans made for this, here.

Email Settings - Set which users to receive Bank account change notification
Ability to select which users receive the notifications when there are changes to a Bank account.
Purpose: Ensure that the right users are informed and can review. Acts as a useful audit, and prevent risk of fraud.
264 votesHi everyone, thanks for all your support here. We recognise the importance of notifying the right people when bank account details change, and how this would help businesses strengthen their checks and reduce fraud risk.
While this work isn’t directly on the roadmap just yet, this idea is on our radar, and we’re looking to explore it further to ensure we’re covering the ground needed for a smooth customer experience.
We appreciate everyone who's shared feedback and examples, as they help us better understand the impact this'd have in practice.

New Homepage - Track Quotes
Ability to track quotes and Purchase orders on the Dashboard
Purpose: This would allow for quick access and visibility of quotes
163 votesHi team, we very much appreciate the desire for a quick snapshot, and visibility of quotes at a glance from the Homepage. While we're continuing to iterate on this experience we want to be open that a dedicated quotes widget is not in the pipeline at present.
An option for more oversight of quotes could be to use Cashflow manager in Xero Analytics. Though not a dedicated visualisation or widget Quotes contribute to this projection and you can get a view of the Quotes breakdown from the Manage cash in tab.
We'll continue to keep this in mind as the team to continue to plan their roadmap, and I'll make sure to share if there are any updates to share around this with you here.

Organisation settings - Copy a 'Live Xero Organisation’ details into the Demo company.
Ability to copy/duplicate details into Demo Company.
Purpose: To easily test any changes in the Demo Company rather than implementing it directly into ‘Live Xero organisation’.
65 votesHi community, we appreciate your support and sharing here and want to apologise we haven't responded on this idea before now.
We understand there are opportunities to improve the demo company and provide customers with more flexibility and simplicity in being able to test more thoroughly using the setup and structure of their own organisation, rather than needing to recreate this manually in a separate environment.
This is an area we can see value in evolving, and although this specific capability isn't currently on the roadmap, it's been noted and will remain part of future product planning conversations.
We'll make sure to share any news around this with you all, here.
