Homepage - Icons for shortcuts to features
Create a "widget" with a customizable icon shortcuts to have it where you can click on one button and get you to where you need to go instead of navigation through menus. Have a way to only show which icons appear. For me, it would be "invoices, expenses, refunds, chart of accounts, and inventory". See the attached mock up of what I'm talking about. It would be so nice to have shortcuts right there on the homepage.
2 votesAppreciate your feedback and great visual understanding with your mockup there, Chris. Totally get it's not exactly what you're suggesting here but just as a highlight around shortcuts there are a few that can be used anywhere in Xero to help you quickly navigate to some features such as '/a' to get to the all bank accounts screen, or '/e' to go to all employees 😊
We'll get a sense of interest building for homepage icons through your idea here.

Navigation - Add shortcut to Tracking in the Accounting dropdown
When will the ability to add a shortcut to the settings like "tracking category" and "Fixed Assets" to the "accounting" dropdown menu be re-activated like you could do with the old task bar, or is this another case of "we don't care about our customers bookkeeper's productivity being lost" as all the other dropdown menus appear to have all the shortcuts?
3 votesThanks for your feedback on navigation shortcuts. We appreciate you explaining how important quick access to Tracking Categories and Fixed Assets is for your workflow. You should see Fixed Assets within the Accounting menu already. However, you are correct that accessing Tracking Categories requires an additional click and are shown under the Accounting Settings option.

User Role - Access to specific feature only
"Business and accounting" role needs ability to more narrowly define. I want an employee to access invoices (receivables) but that then gives them access to ALL financial reporting, e.g. P&L, which I don't want them to see.
491 votesHey everyone, thank you for all your feedback. We’re on a long journey to provide more granular access and controls within Xero features that our customers need.
As you may have seen in some of our recent updates across other user roles ideas we’re currently in the process of adding more permissions within Reporting and Inventory. Further to this our research has highlighted Payroll and Banking as areas that more controls are most needed, and are on our agenda as we continue to develop permissions and access to features.
Your feedback here and through direct engagements with our teams have been extremely insightful, and we appreciate all your inputs.
I'll continue to provide updates on the development of roles for features as we progress.

Invoices - Don't open a new tab when copying invoice
Please remove the latest update on Xero: when you copy an invoice it automatically opens a new tab on my laptop. I have more than 20 invoices to post everyday, I do not wish to have 20 tabs on my screen in the end. Not every update is a good update. When you don't have a better update, it's better to just maintain it.
1 voteHi Patricia, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the community. We'll monitor this space for more traction. Cheers

Navigation - Ability to rename menus
Please allow non-profits to change the terminology from sales to receipts etc on the new navigation pane. Sales is not appropriate for us . Thank you
2 votesGood to understand the rationale for your idea here, thanks Hilary. Being open we don't have any plans for enabling users to change the naming of menu's, however we'd like to get a sense of the interest in this sort of capability and understanding more of the terminology that most resonates for our customers 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.

Onboarding - Add Xero to the list of "What tool are you currently using to run your business"
When creating a new organisation, there isn't an option to choose Xero from the dropdown list of "What tool are you currently using to run your business". I'm migrating from one org to another because of limitations in your PAYE scheme functionality. Right now, a user can't select Xero from the list, which may help you shed light on users who are either running into org challenges or who are power users of your tools.
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea.

Navigation - Back to the top button at bottom of page
Please could you add a 'Back to the top' button, especially on the reconcile and report pages, but every page would be useful.
After scrolling down many line items, it would be far quicker to have this function implemented for ease.18 votesHi team, thanks for showing interest in this idea.
While we don't have any plans for adding this within Xero atm, as mentioned in my last update if you're working on a desktop you can use the 'Home' button on a Windows, or on a Mac you can press the 'Command' key + Left arrow.
This should help when navigating a long lists or pages like reports.
We will continue to track the appetite through this idea.

XPM - Allow bookkeepers to sign up without TPB registeration
The current signup process, while being advertised for bookkeepers actually requires a registration with the TPB as a tax or BAS agent, however pure bookkeepers categorising transactions and doing account reconciliations have no need to lodge BAS' and hence no reason to obtain a BAS agent number.
This oversight prohibits bookkeepers from signing up to the partner program and growing the platform.
A simple "do you intend to make lodgements for your clients - yes/no" button before the "BAS agent number" input field would suffice.
1 voteAppreciate you sharing the idea here Hamish. bookkeepers can’t sign up for the Xero partner programme without BAS/TPB registration at the moment. We understand this may not be useful for people who do not want to register for Tax. We'll open this idea up to the community so we can gain some support on it. In the meantime,make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

Xero Login - Enable Passkeys as a replacement to passwords
Passkeys (https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/) are rapidly taking over passwords and are infinitely more secure than passwords.
Intuit are already using Passkeys (https://fidoalliance.org/case-study-intuits-roi-from-passwordless-customer-authentication/)
81 votesHi team, we've just launched passkeys to our first group of users. From this week, Xero Me app users who haven't set up MFA yet will be able to use passkeys to log into Xero. Next, we'll be progressively rolling this out to more users over the coming months. We look forward to and welcome your feedback here. As we have more news on the rollout I'll share with you on this idea.

Dashboard | Watchlist - Customise at the user level
Could the Accounts Watchlist feature have an option to have user specific watchlists? The accounts I want to pay close attention to as Head of Finance is different to what the Finance Assistant wants to see. Not all accounts are organisation wide specific.

Login - Ability to set a Password Expiry
Hi Community,
In relation to XERO security, I suggest all users should have a password expiry functionality where after a period (eg 6 months) it prompts all users to change their password.
8 votesHi Simon, thanks so much for taking the time to share this great idea about improving login security.
We've had a look, and your suggestion to add a password expiry feature is now open for the community to vote and comment on.
We're keen to see what others think! They can now add their votes and share how this would help them manage their own business's security policies in Xero.

Navigation - relevant reports available from other drop downs
I love the way the various areas have been split now (Home Sales Purchases Payroll etc)
I would prefer that reports relating to each of those sections, be stored in their menus. IN the Reporting menu, I have 10 varying reports which make it a long menu path. If they were in their individual menus (e.g. Aged Receivables Summary in Sales menu; Aged Payables Summary in Purchase, all Payroll related reports in Payroll) it would be easier to find and more logical. You could have more reports visible as well in each Menu.
If this is not possible, can we…
1 voteGreat to hear you like the new layout of the navigation, Jason.
Appreciate how further customisation of reports and possible nesting under the relevant menu drop downs could be useful. We'll get a gauge of the interest in this from others in the community here.
This isn't something we have plans for atm, but will share if this gets picked up at all.

Navigation - Move up practice tools section on main menu
Navigation - Main Menu
Personally, I access practice tools and hubdoc / syft several times daily, I'd prefer not thave to scroll down to get to these. Settings and Subscription / Billing are access much less frequently and coud me lower in the menu.
Also the Xero Menu and Home Menu seem to do exactly the same thing? Could the main drop down menu therefore be moved over to the LHS where it was previously.2 votesThanks for your feedback, Tina. To make it easy to track the interest from community and keep you updated we request each post is contained to a single idea. I've slightly amended your idea to the first that you mentioned around navigating to practice tools. We have a slightly different one for the navigation to Hubdoc that you may like to vote for.
For the last point you've noted around the Xero and Home buttons - welcome to start a new idea for this too, that we can track support in. Thanks

Navigation - Separate menu for Analytics

Email - Ability to cc and bcc sent emails
Ability to cc and bcc when sending emails from xero.
This would be very useful as we have many clients that like to have various other people copied in.
97 votesHi community, we value your engagement in product ideas here. As you may have seen we've recently rolled out a new send experience in new invoicing.
With this new side-by-side view you'll find you can also CC and BCC other emails 🎉
While this feature is contained to new invoicing atm, we'll look at applying a similar experience to other areas of Xero that you can send from in the future, so we'll keep you updated of any further developments for this here. Thanks!

Dashboard - Show current exchange rates on dashboard
It would be useful to be able to see today's exchange rates on the dashboard - I use information on the dashboard to prepare a weekly report and it's annoying to have to go to another screen to display exchange rates which also form part of my Excel report.
2 votesThanks for sharing this suggestion for the Xero Dashboard. We understand that when you're preparing regular reports, having all the key information in one place can be a real time-saver.
We've reviewed your idea to be able to see today's exchange rates directly on the dashboard. We can see how having this information readily available would streamline your weekly reporting process.
Your idea is now open to gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others who work with multiple currencies can now comment to share how this feature would improve their own workflows.🙂

Xero accounting app - Fully functional same as website.
It would be nice if the Xero app was fully functional like the website. I have clients that only use tablets and rarely use the website. Making the app identical to the website in feature would make it easier for them to do things
3 votesWe've reviewed your suggestion, and it's now open to the community for support. Please share it with any colleagues who would benefit so they can vote and add their comments. Their feedback will help show how this idea could improve their experience with Xero.

Navigation | Search - auto close and remove entry
I have seen the new Xero update, and the search bar has changed (only looks and complaints)
1. The search bar stays open, so you manually have to close it, which is slightly annoying.
2. Your search stays in the bar when it is closed. So when you open the bar again to search for something else, you have to delete the original search. If it has been a while since you last searched, you forget, and it can be so frustrating.If the search bar were fixed (actually finding things I were searching for), I wouldn't mind. But this…
1 voteInteresting to get your feedback on this, Jodie-May. It'll be good to get a sense of the wider community appetite in this too. Our teams are paying close attention to the feedback on the new experience and I'll share if there are any updates for you here. Thanks

Multicurrency - Different exchange rates per bank account
Multiple bank account with similar currency but to apply individual exchange rates for accounts with the same currency.
