1. 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.

2. Enter journal date using keyboard

   In the new manual journal screen, we cannot enter the journal date using a keyboard, and need to select the journal date from the calendar input. This wastes a lot of time if we are backdating the journals to previous years.

   Please bring back the ability to enter journal dates using a keyboard. For the time being, I'm reverting back to old input screen.

   Hi Quynh, date entry via keyboard and the date entry shortcuts are all available within new manual journals. If you're having any troubles with this I'd recommend raising a case with our Xero Support team through Xero Central who can get more detail to take a closer look into what you're experiencing. Thanks
