Keep the Classic Interface as an Option
The new journal entry interface is a step backwards in usability. In the previous version, I could view multiple journal lines at once because the layout was more compact and allowed the entire journal to be displayed on one page. This made it much easier to review, understand, and track entries.
With the new interface, there is much less visibility, and I find myself constantly scrolling to see related lines. This makes it harder to follow complex journals, increases the risk of errors, and slows down the review process. Similar to the GST report update, the changes appear to prioritise design over functionality.
My ideas is that Rather than removing the classic view, could Xero allow users to choose between the classic and new interfaces? This would accommodate different working styles and provide a better experience for all users.
