Navigation - Freeze bar at the top of the page to save scrolling

Can the main pull down bar (Dashboard, Business, Accounting, Projects, Contacts) be fixed at the top of the page? When viewing a screen that has 100 or more lines, it would be a lot more convenient to have immediate access to this than having to scroll all the way back up.

Thanks everyone, we want to acknowledge all the feedback about how we can improve your experience by making navigation easier while scrolling.

Our product team are now exploring options such as a 'sticky' navigation bar or 'back to top' option, and appreciate all thats been shared about this by our community.

While we can't commit to development as yet, I'll be sure to let you know further news of this, here.

    ....and the "End" button (and Page-up/down) to go to the bottom of the screen, but that does not solve the problem. I appreciate that we want the maximum screen space to be able to work, but any half-decent website designer can build a menu banner that disappears when you are working and appears when you attempt to scroll up. I am positive that if Xero commissioned the 1000-odd engineers who work at Xero to come up with a solution and offered them a free bar lunch as a prize, someone would provide a solution. Maybe even OPEN-AI will do it for them.

    Hi @Kelly Munro

    Sadly, not all keyboards have a home key, especially if you're using a laptop.

  • Michelle Scriffignano commented  ·   ·  Report

    Include a floating 'Back to Top' button so that when at the bottom of a long list of entries, say in a Project, it is easier to get back to the top of the screen to then proceed to invoice out for the expenses added.

  • Alan Hollinshead commented  ·   ·  Report

    The fact that the Blue navigation bar does not stay at the top of the page is annoying and time consuming. I am seriously considering moving away from xero.

  • Lesley Sharp commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes. Having the menu fixed to the top of the screen is essential, and it isn't hard to do either. I did it on my own Webflow site. And if I can do it, any idiot can. Make it so, Xero!

  • Ellen Taylor commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree, having it at the bottom of a long report is irritating

  • Steven Breese commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would also be great to have the export button static too...either at the top or bottom of the screen. This would also save unnecessary scrolling

  • Julie Corderoy commented  ·   ·  Report

    Blue menu bar - this should be frozen in place so that it is always accessible, rather than having to scroll to the top or press ctrl + home.

  • Steve Moore commented  ·   ·  Report

    Strange that this is still not done. simple fix with huge benefits for users

  • Katie Haslam commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think I would find this extremely helpful (and hopefully it's an easy fix!)

  • Ann Pearson commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would be amazing if this was sorted. It is probably the most annoying thing about Xero and as another post also suggests, it would provide better clarity and generally improve efficiency moving around Xero.

  • Mike Mori commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would be EXTREMELY helpful if the blue banner heading and menu bar at the top of the page in Xero was frozen so that it is not lost when you scroll down.
    Firstly, it gives you peace of mind when you are processing data, that you are in the correct client or business, by just glancing to the top left. Secondly, it saves loads of time not having to scroll up to be able to choose a different menu. I hope this is helpful to all your subscribers. I have attached screenshots from the Demo account in .doc and .pdf to see

    Like Sarah, I have the same frustrationj of having to scroll up what at times can be a long way

  • Lisa McGarry commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can a "Back to Top" option be added to show whenever you scroll down on any page. Some of our reports and pages are very long and it would be convenient to be able to select back to top rather than having to scroll.

  • Lea Brown commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please lock headings - it would be VERY helpful not to scroll back to headings every time you choose/change a different tab.

  • Colin Ware commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be a great convenience factor.

  • Susan van der Valk commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would be useful to be able to have a button at the bottom of a page that you can click to jump to the top of the page instead of having to scroll up, especially when working a page that has many lines.

  • Annie Monkman commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please can the main headers be fixed (i.e. those shown in the blue header at the top of the page), in a similar way to the way you have just introduced sticky headers within reports. I often open additional tabs as I work and it is frustrating having to scroll the current page back to the top in order to be able to open a new tab.

  • Sarah Greenhill commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would be great if the blue menu bar stayed at the top of the screen all the time. If you've scrolled down a long report and want to change screen it can be a pain to have to scroll back up to the top
