Practice tools | Clients - Show indicator for number of notes & tax returns
Following the XPM updates in November and December 2025, the Tax Returns and Notes tabs no longer indicate whether a client has any open tax returns or existing notes.
This indicator was previously used to quickly identify active items on a client without needing to open each tab, we are particularly missing the notes indicator.
As similar indicators are still shown for Jobs and Invoices, it would be helpful for consistency and usability if this functionality could be restored for the Tax Returns and Notes tabs as well.
58 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this. We appreciate you sharing how the number indicators for Tax Returns and Notes helped streamline your workflow in XPM.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

Practice tools | Clients - Jobs & Invoices view 'Archived' in the main tab
Recent change in XPM has moved the old/archived jobs and invoices to a different tab. I prefer the old layout where you can see the current and old jobs all in one place/screen.
The archived or old jobs have been moved to a different tab which means you cannot see both open and closed jobs at the same time. We rely on this when preparing annual accounts and tax returns because we often review all invoices or jobs for a full financial year, we hardly ever are only looking at the open jobs or invoices. The issue is we can…
42 votesHi everyone, upon further deep diving into the discussion raised here we are going to re-open this idea. We appreciate how being able to see both active and archived Jobs within a Client is useful to some practices workflows. We will be sure to share if there are any plans made around this with you here. Thanks

Contacts - Suggestion for improvement: Display Pinned Notes on the contact information summary page
Pinned client notes should be shown on the client information page. Would help for things like a credit hold on a client. Warning
32 votesHi there,
I can see how having pinned notes visible on the main information page would be a huge help, especially for spotting critical warnings like credit holds without having to click through different tabs.
Currently, pinned notes are only visible when you are specifically viewing the Notes tab of a contact. As a workaround, many users add "!!!" or "HOLD" to the beginning of the Contact Name field so it is visible on every screen and summary page throughout Xero.
I’ve moved your suggestion into Gaining Support under the following title: Contacts - Suggestion for improvement: Display Pinned Notes on the contact information summary page
This will allow other members to vote on the request and help our product teams gauge the demand for this UI change.

XPM - Increase visibility of group name on group screen
Since the recent XPM update in Nov/Dec 2025, the group name is less prominent on the 'group' screen, and does not stand out as clearly as it did previously.
The larger group name made it easier to identify which screen you were on, which is especially important now that many screens have a similar layout. Increasing the prominence or size of the group name again would improve clarity and usability.
28 votesHi and thanks for sharing this idea!
It’s great to get such specific detail on how the visibility of group names impacts your workflow, especially when navigating between multiple screens in XPM.
I have moved this into our Gaining Support category.
This means other members of the community can now vote on your suggestion, which helps our product teams gauge interest and prioritise future UI refinements. We’ll keep a close eye on this one to see how much traction it gets. Thanks for helping us improve the XPM experience!
Kind regards

Clients - "Go to Xero" to open in another tab
On the client screen when you click on "Go to Xero" it should open in another tab not the not redirect the current browser page to Xero.
52 votesThanks for letting us know the changes that would make a difference for you when working with clients, Christopher.
Our product teams are monitoring feedback through the practice experiences beta closely and I'll be sure to let you know here if there are any improvements planned to enable opening in a new tab.

Practice tools | Clients - Return to group view when navigating back from a client
Since the recent update in November/December 2025, when navigating back using the back arrow from a specific client, the system returns to the full client list rather than the client’s group.
It would be more helpful if the back arrow returned users to the relevant group view instead of the full client list.

Clients - Main entity star indicator in groups
Following the XPM updates in November and December 2025, the star indicator within client groups that identified the main entity has been removed.
This indicator was heavily relied on to quickly identify the primary entity within a group. Please reinstate the star or an equivalent visual marker so the main entity can be clearly identified at a glance.
Thanks

Clients - Default address to practice region e.g (AU)
The process for entering addresses for clients needs to be easier and more streamlined. It should default to Australia (the overwhelming majority of clients have Australian addresses). You should also be able to copy street address to postal address, rather than having to reenter the data.
28 votesHi Megan, thanks for your feedback on the new Partner Hub experience when entering client addresses. Your input is valuable to and appreciated. We have moved this idea to Gaining Support and the Product team will be looking over all the feedback from our customers/partners so they can get a better idea of the experience and functionality of the new platform. Thanks again for sharing this with us.

Clients - Search using TFN or ABN
We are not able to search for clients (whilst in the Clients tab) using TFN or ABN.
We are also not able to search using client's TFN or ABN when using Global Search.
TFN and ABN are unique search identifiers and will return the correct client every time.
43 votesHi everyone, thank you for your support on the idea here.
Right now, our product team are looking into the ability to search via TFN from the Client list.
They're in exploration atm, so I'll keep you updated on further progress here.

XPM - Show full client notes by default
Since the recent update in Nov/Dec 2025, client notes are collapsed when they exceed a few lines, which makes it too easy to miss important information. All the notes we add in XPM are all relevant, we don't want any to be hidden.
Previously, notes were fully visible by default. Restoring this behaviour would make critical information easier to see at a glance.
If notes must remain collapsible, an option to show the full note by default would be preferred. Alternatively, the “show more” prompt should be much more visually prominent so it is not overlooked.
Ideally, the collapsed view…

XPM - Remove pop-up label when hovering over client name
Since the recent update in Nov/Dec 2025, hovering over a client name on the XPM group screen shows a pop-up label that repeats the client name.
This pop-up does not provide any additional information and often gets in the way while navigating the screen. Removing it would improve usability and reduce unnecessary on-screen clutter.
21 votesThanks for your feedback on the pop-up label when hovering over client names in XPM.

XPH - Collapsible fields when editing client information
It would be great to bring back the collapsible custom fields in XPM when editing client details. This previously made it much easier to jump between headings. With the new tabbed layout, all custom fields now appear in one long list with no distinction between headings, which means a lot more scrolling to find the fields we need to update.
21 votesHi Hannah, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the business structure view in Xero Practice Hub. It’s helpful to understand how important it is to see clearer client details at a glance when you’re managing groups of clients.
Your suggestion around having a more detailed business structure breakdown makes sense, especially as broader categories like Other can cover a mix of different client situations.
We’ve now moved this idea to Gaining Support, which means it’s open for the community to vote and add comments. This helps us understand what’s most valuable to you, and we’ll keep you posted as things progress. If others would find this useful too, feel free to share your thoughts.

XPH - Update the salutation from the additional contacts
In the old xero version, you could click on the contact and edit the salutation.
This option is no longer available.
The only way to update is to exit client, go back to clients, select contacts, search contact then edit details.
A lot of extra steps just to add or update a salutation after a contact has been created20 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on editing salutations within the contact view. We appreciate you explaining how this workflow impacts your day-to-day tasks in Xero Partner Hub.

XPM - Order fields in the Clients tab
In the new Clients tab, to have the ability to customise where the details are showing in the Information tab.
For instance, the Referral source (which we do not use) is currently showing at the top of the screen, whereas the IRD Number which is needed have to scroll down to view.18 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on customising field order in the Clients tab.

Practice Manager - Dropdown boxes should ALWAYS be searchable
One example.. editing Client details, there is a Title field, it is a dropdown box with heaps of options.
It should be possible to type something into the field to filter the results.

Practice tools - Improve client screen layout on mobile devices
Following the recent XPM updates in Nov/Dec 2025, the client screen does not display correctly when viewed on a mobile device. The page layout appears distorted and is difficult to read, making it hard to use in a mobile web browser.
Older XPM pages that have not been updated yet still display normally on mobile, so it would be helpful to improve the layout and usability of the updated client screen to ensure it is mobile-friendly for web access.
14 votesAppreciate your feedback on this and good to understand the different ways our partners are often viewing this information, Natascha.
Your feedback here has been shared back with our product team and I'll be sure to loop you in if there are any improvements planned for how the page responds when viewing from a mobile browser.

Clients - Copy address to Street/Postal
The process for entering addresses for clients needs to be easier and more streamlined. It should default to Australia (the overwhelming majority of clients have Australian addresses). You should also be able to copy street address to postal address, rather than having to reenter the data.

AU Tax - Set a default for the tax agent field
I am hoping it might be possible to create a default for the Agent setting. If this were possible, when we add new clients onto XPM, the Agent field would default to our Agent details, as we only have one Agent to select from.
14 votesThanks for sharing your idea on setting a default for the Agent field in Practice Manager, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you explaining how this could streamline your workflow, especially when working with a single agent.

Practice tools - Floating navigation and headers
I note that when I am in the "Clients" and other tabs the top two toolbars (green and white) disappear when scrolling. It is very annoying that you can't see the client's name and other tabs at a glance. Is it possible that these two toolbars can remain static?
Thank you.10 votesAppreciate how constantly seeing these headers could be useful when dealing with large lists, Angela.
While not a direct solve of what you're asking here a tip to help you quickly navigate back up the page could be to use the 'Home' button on your keyboard.
We'll track the interest of this one here and I'll share if there are any updates planned.
