Xero Files - Removing Files from transactions and Adding back into Xero Files & Searching Xero Files
It doesn't appear to be possible to Remove attached files from a transaction and save it back to Xero Files. I found it to be a useful function. Would it be possible to add it back again? Also it would be really useful to be able to Search on documents in Xero Files.
3 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Additionally, regarding the other idea on searching within the files section, I have found a similar idea to what you're suggesting and added your vote there. We'll monitor both ideas for traction.

Files - Page scrolling at top of page
As the Archive in Files expands, we need the option to scroll through pages easily by using the scroll button. This should be located at the top of the page.

There is a new feature in files called Review, is there a way to remove it as it is something our company will never use and it gets in the way.

Xero Files - Ability to tag files
File TAGGING! Can you please please add where we can tag files. Like ok tag to project tag to contractor. Tags! Tag projects to receipts and hires.
If you add "tags" or labels to files and projects that'll make less clicks for everyone! and so much faster. The tags will obviously auto populate into the right project, files, or contractors!1 voteThanks for sharing your idea, Jessasm. We don't have any immediate plans for adding tags to files in Xero, however we can start to get a better understanding of the interest around this from your idea here.
Share the link to this idea with other colleagues that would find this useful so they can add their support for this here, too.

Increase number of supporting files that can be attached to a loan account
Could Xero please consider increasing the number of supporting files that can be attached to a loan account? Currently a maximum of 50 supporting documents can be attached. However, we are now exceeding the 50 document limit, with initial loan setup docs, monthly statements, plus bank letters regarding interest rate changes. It is important to have a full set of supporting documents attached to the loan account, so they are available for the accountant to review if required.
We are looking at the Chart of Accounts, finding the loan account, clicking on the balance on the right (to open the…

Smart document capture - Line Extraction Defaults for Contacts
On the new files smart capture facility, there is an option to toggle the 'line items', please could you add a way to save the toggle for each contact, as I have some contacts that have various itemised invoices which would benefit from default already being collapsed, and some that the itemised extraction helps with.
Thank you.
1 voteGreat to hear you're finding good use in the new Smart document capture feature, Luis.
Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too. 🙂 We'll share if there are any plans made around this, here.

Allow files to be re-named in the platform once added.
I would like files to be able to be renamed once they have been added to the files area. As most generic files only have numbers or letters it would make it easier to be able to rename them easily.
also allow the files to be time stamped as well.

Files - Ability to add note to a file in the library
The new layout does not support our workflow. On the contrary, it slows us down and makes the system less transparent. For practices like ours, managing hundreds of clients, clarity and efficiency are essential. The previous dashboard enabled us to see key information at a glance. The new version creates unnecessary friction.
It is crucial that you retain the option to use the previous dashboard version and allow each Xero user to decide which layout best supports their work. There are hundreds of similar requests in community forums asking for this flexibility. In light of this, the current developer stance…
2 votesAppreciate you sharing feedback, Erzsebet. However we do ask that each post be contained to a single idea in a feature to help;
- other members know what they're voting for
- product teams get a sense of the interest for a particular change
- us provide updates on any progress for a change
Being upfront, the new homepage will replace the Dashboard experience over the coming weeks, and we cannot maintain both experiences long term.
To help with some of the notes you've raised on your needs;
- You can view draft invoices/bills from the Invoices owed to you/Bills to pay widgets - This now sits beneath the graph
- # of items to reconcile should be visible from each Bank account widget, as well as within the Tasks widget
- Net profit or loss widget will provide a quick gauge of the clients FY
I'll update the title of your idea here for the…

Xero files - option to view files as a group, reducing the need to open individually
New Xero files - add option to return to the old way of viewing bills that had been uploaded?
I often log in to 80-100 bills that have been uploaded into files for me to add to a clients xero. Until the recent changes you could click on the oldest one and then scroll through each one viewing them full screen whilst working on another screen to add the information to a bill in xero. Now when you click on the file it opens in a much smaller box on the far side of the screen and you can't scroll…
3 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. While that exact group view isn't available in the new design, we have a helpful trick: we recommend you try expanding the side view of the file so it fills up most of your screen. When you do that, you'll be able to quickly jump between files just by hitting the Tab and Enter keys on your keyboard. If you run into any trouble with this or need more help, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team :)

Smart document capture - Defaults when reviewing files
Most of our receipt uploads are treated as spend money, using our main bank account.
Every time I review a receipt I have to select the document / transaction type and the bank account used.
Having a default with the option to change it would be good, or simply remember the last used values.1 voteHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

XPH | Homepage - Widget for reviewing client transactions without attachments
We would like an exportable / emailable report to show spends and bills in a period that are missing files / source documents.
We could / would use this:
- as a quick weekly review
- monthly as part of month end
- as part of GST prep
- we work for clubs, and we would use this as part of annual pre-audit process for them - so the date range is important - as their year end is 31 Oct.Please make this a permanent feature or quickly accessiable report in Xero. Please also add it as a widget…
3 votesAppreciate you sharing your idea in the forums here, Glennis. Sort of 2 pronged for a report as well as a widget I found another idea related to your first suggestion and added your vote for.
Separately, we'll get a gauge of the interest from others in a widget in Xero Partner Hub for this purpose from your idea here.

Attachments - Add preview compatibility for .eml and .msg files
Please consider adding compatibility to preview .eml files (and .msg files if possible) that are attached to invoices (and other documents) in Xero, similar to the pdf preview window.
Emails are text/HTML so this seems achievable.
This would save time needing to download correspondences to view them, which are useful attachments in Xero for audit purposes.
3 votesIt’s great to see ideas around attachment previews, especially how support for .eml and .msg files could make audit workflows smoother.
This idea is now open for the community to vote on and discuss. Adding a few details about how it would fit into your workflow can help others understand why it matters and give the product team extra context.
We’ll keep this thread updated as things develop.

Xero Accounting app | Files - Preserve rotated images when uploading via device file manager
The easiest way to save a document to the Files Inbox is to share it from the device file manager or gallery. However, if an image has been rotated to landscape (e.g. because the image was originally the wrong orientation), saving the image to Files Inbox this way removes the rotation. The Xero Accounting app should preserve the rotation when uploading.

Files - Create bill credit notes from files folder
You should be able to create a Bill Credit note directly from the FILES folder of your profile. This way when you go in to check the Credit note, you can create it straight away, rather than have to go out, in to Bills, and then have to create it from there.
OR when you send an 'invoice'/attachment through to your draft bills, you should be able to change it to be a bill credit note rather than a bill8 votes -
Files - PDF File Preview
In files, previewing a PDF that has been uploaded or sent to files will not work for many chrome users.
Upon opening in files, it gives the error "This file can't be previewed with this browser."
This occurs if the user has google chrome, and has google chrome set to "Download PDFs" instead of "Open PDFs in Chrome."
Many people have chrome set this way. Other sites have somehow managed to make their PDF preview still work...hopefully Xero can implement this. The current setup makes it very hard to review uploaded files when they are in PDF format, as they…
9 votesThanks for the detail in your last message, Carlo. We appreciate some users may expect this to work differently, however as you have noted the files preview for PDF's is driven by the browser settings.
If you're finding your PDF's download rather than being able to view them in your browser we would recommend looking at your browser settings to make sure the option to view in browser has been selected (as per the screenshot you shared).
Being upfront this is not behavior that we're looking to change in the near future.

Files Folders - Drag and drop files to change order
Within Files folder, to sort by drag and drop please? These are remittance advice for Gift Aid payments from HMRC and therefore not attached to any invoices BUT can get uploaded in the wrong order which is confusing for the auditor. Currently the only option is to download the whole contents, sort and reload.
Also could it be made possible please to have subfolders so that we can easily divide eg monthly investment reports by financial year without having a long list of separate folders in the main index?5 votes -
Xero Files - Flag duplicates in files
I currently use Xero Files to store documents. Most of the documents are PDF's but some are Excel spreadsheets. Unfortunately, Xero Files doesn't recognise duplicate documents so, when uploading to Xero, it's necessary to compare the Xero file with my personal file in order to determine which documents need to be uploaded. It would be good if Xero Files recognised duplicates so all documents could be selected for upload with Xero simply flagging the duplicates with an option to either "skip" or to "skip all".
