Homepage - Include the number of billable expenses outstanding in the tasks list
It would be great if the number of billable expenses - outstanding (as per the report of the same name) could be included in the tasks widget - ie expenses to be oncharged. Currently I have to run the report to check if there are any oncharges to complete, but it would be great if I could just see the number on the list. We use this feature for almost all of the organisations we look after (20+) and it would save time and ensure we are oncharging more promptly.
2 votesThanks for your feedback on this and sharing how this would be useful to your flows, Lisa. We're taking feedback about this widget on board and considering what additional items would be most useful to customers. I'll be sure to share any updates if there is progress for adding billable expenses to this view.

Homepage - Adaptive layout & zoom to fit for monitors with different aspect ratios
VISUAL: Adaptive layout & zoom to fit?
I use my widescreen monitor to use two windows side-by-side, but then the Xero window has a lot of negative space around the tabs (see image) and the only way I can find to make this larger is to zoom in the browser, but that makes all the browser items zoomed, which I don't want. If I enlarge the Xero tab, the layout adjusts to a sweet spot, but that also doesn't fit nicely on full screen, and I end up clicking between things more than is efficient, so it should ideally sit…

User role - Public view ( GDPR SAFE )
I’d like to propose a “view-only” feature that would be fully GDPR-compliant and suitable for organisations that manage sensitive financial information—such as block management companies handling residents’ funds.
The idea is to allow every shareholder or resident to view the accounts and understand where money is being spent, while ensuring that all personal data is hidden. For example, where an individual apartment appears in the ledger, identifying information would be removed. To avoid jigsaw identification, each apartment could be linked to a classification matrix—for instance, showing it as a two-bedroom unit paying $2,000 per year—without revealing the resident’s identity. This…

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.
3 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.

Contacts - Bank Sort Code | Add hyphen
XERO is the only system I know which does not automatically add the hyphen between the numbers. e.g. 00-00-00 Instead XERO goes 000000 and you have to add 2 hyphens. This would just be nice!
2 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We'll open this idea up for the community to share their thoughts and vote on it. We'll monitor this space for more traction. Cheers.

Homepage | Widget for recently paid bills
Could we have more widgets to add - recently paid bills would be great
2 votesThanks for your feedback, Paul. Good to hear the different details that our customers would find most helpful at a glance. While we don't have plans for adding a recently paid bills widget like the invoices one just at this time we'll start to track interest in this here and I'll update you if there's any news.

Homepage - Show recent payments received from customer
Widget - Recent Invoice Payments.
Show payment value from customer rather than individual invoices. Recent Payment Received would be more helpful than 5 x £10 from Bloggs & Co
2 votesHi Sharon, thanks for sharing this suggestion! We understand that seeing payments received from customers, rather than individual invoices, would make it much easier to track cash flow and acknowledge payments at a glance
At the moment, you can use the Bank Reconciliation summary or check invoice History and Notes, but a dedicated homepage widget with aggregated payment values would be more convenient. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share with our product teams.

Users & Setup - Automatically redirect to the previous page after a session timeout and re-login
At the moment if not all tasks have been completed in a work day, opening up the browser window again from where you left off will log you out. When you log in again, you are diverted to the homepage with no way of clicking back to go back to the page you were on. This is a massive waste of time, please allow us to restore our tabs which had things like custom reports and other things we started working on.
2 votesHi everyone, we understand that being sent back to the homepage after a session timeout can interrupt your workflow, especially when you’re in the middle of a specific report or transaction. It can be a bit inconvenient to lose your place and have to navigate back, and we completely get how that affects your productivity.
Some community members have mentioned ways to work around this, like keeping an eye on the session timeout or using browser bookmarks for deep links. At the same time, we agree that a smoother experience that automatically returns you to your last page would be really helpful.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product teams how this “return to page” functionality could save you time and make your workflow easier.

Homepage | Invoice and Bills widgets - Option to make smaller
Make invoices to pay & bills boxes smaller these are the two functions I use most & now have to scroll down every time i want to use them
2 votesHiya team, happy to share an update as this is something we're currently working on. Our team are developing the ability to reduce the size of these widgets and more control of the data shown.
I'll round back to let you know once this goes out 😊

Homepage - Outstanding invoices view if emailed or printed
I would like to see if outstanding sales invoices were emailed or printed & posted by traditional mail.

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…

Navigation | Global Search (magnifying glass) - Coloured invoice status in results
In search since I've used Xero, when searching for an Invoice Number - results would appear and a coloured box with the status - red for Awaiting Payment, and green for Paid. A handy visual meaning I didn't have to actually read the status.
Now in the new Search - these colours have disappeared. Why? I now have to scan up and down and actually read what it says without my visual guide. Xero keeps making changes to make things harder to use, and any suggestions I follow to make things easier for users, even really simple quick fixes, are…5 votesHi Anita, thanks for sharing your feedback about this feature, and how you'd like to see it restored.

Homepage | Cashflow - Quick check to report solvency
have an optional widget where you can set up your own quick ratio calculation, so you can see if you are trading insolvent or not, at a glance. The idea would be to tick off the accounts in the chart of accounts that are relevant e.g. bank accs, inventory, debtors, payables... but make the choices entirely the choice of the user
1 vote🌟 Thanks for sharing this idea.
We can see the value in having an optional way to monitor short-term solvency at a glance, whether through a custom quick ratio widget or the ability to run a cash flow report. The flexibility to choose which accounts are included would make this more relevant for different businesses and reporting preferences.
We’re moving this idea to gaining support so we can better understand how many others would find this useful.

Homepage – Show Chart of Accounts Quarterly Budget on the Widget
Like many business' we operate more on qrtly budgets than monthly due to month to month volatility.
I love the chart of accounts widget but for us it would ideally be able to show this quarter as well as this month2 votesHi there, thanks for sharing this! it’s clear that having a quarterly budget figure on the Chart of Accounts watchlist widget would make managing your finances even easier. We can see how having that data live on the dashboard would give you a quick, clear snapshot for proactive planning without needing to switch to the full Budget Manager report.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product teams how much this extra flexibility could help you stay on top of your long-term goals.

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?
4 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.

Navigation - Access Product & Services from both Sales and Purchases
I think the new menu bar is great as its closer to the original layout from about 9-10 years ago.
But super annoying that I can only access Products & Services via Sales.
All our purchasing is run through Xero, all our sales is run via external POS that we import summary csv, not detail, so no products or services.
Seeing as the new navigation bar is already quite full and having a separate productions option is not visually viable, would it not make sense to have the Products and Services link feature in both Sales & Purchases?
I mean,…
3 votesReally appreciate your feedback on the new navigation, Fiona. I've made sure to share this back with our product team. They are taking on board and considering all feedback carefully.
For now we'll get an understanding of the interest from community in this through your idea, and I'll let you know if there are any plans made for this, here.

Demo Company - Prioritise Demo Company for new feature rollouts
Could the Demo Company please be updated first when new features are being rolled out. Often want to test how a new feature works (eg the current Investment Boost in Fixed Assets) or take the Staff through training on the new features, without having to do this in a Client's live data.
If the Demo Company can have the features first, then can do testing and training of staff before see in the Client's live data.
Currently Client's have the new Investment Boost feature, and want to add new Fixed Assets using the Investment Boost, but presently can only do…5 votesThank you for sharing your idea and letting us know which changes are most important to you.

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.
2 votesAppreciate 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!
