Xero Support - Increase description field size in case raise form
Hi,
Could you make the "Tell us what happened" box bigger? It's meant to be used for clients to give Xero detail of the what the issue is.
It only takes 2 lines at a time and is abit annoying when trying to compile a message and give details.
3 votesThanks for sharing your feedback 😊
If you need to add more detail than two lines, you can resize the description box using the draggable corner in the bottom right.
To be open and upfront, our product team don’t have any plans to change the description box at this time, but will see how the feedback evolves here and through other channels, and keep this in mind. We’ll be sure to pop back to let you know of any updates. -
Check lists for roles and permission.
Dear Xero Team,
I would like to suggest adding more flexibility when assigning user access within the Xero accounting software. Specifically, could we have the option to customise access levels for different users?
For example, a basic user should only be able to:Create sales and invoices
Raise purchase orders to suppliers
Update billing informationHowever, they should not have access to sensitive areas such as:
Balance Sheet
Profit and Loss reports
Bank reconciliation pagesIt would be helpful if administrators could define roles by selecting which areas a user can access and deselecting those they should not. This would…

Customer Support - View case responses without having to log into Xero Central
When we receive communication from Xero regarding a case query, it is necessary to log into Xero again to read the answer
This is time consuming and annoying- would love a fix for this.
Is there a way to view the answer and perhaps log in when we are ready to respond?2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about how the experience with viewing support cases could be made better for you.
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 votes and comments about how they'd also like to see this!

Xero Central - Add changelogs to Xero Central Support pages
Things like tax returns change fairly frequently. Not all new features are entirely self-explanatory. Xero Support's Articles are simple and aimed at giving new users basic information, but often lack the detail to be used as an ongoing resource.
I'd suggest adding changelogs to Xero Central Support pages/articles for existing products that have been updated.
For example the IR6 tax return has changed in the 2025 year to match tax law. Estates are still able to use the 33% tax rate in their first 4 years, but the return defaults to the 39% rate.
Existing users will review the Tax…

Navigation - Ability to submit feedback in product
There isn't anywhere in Xero where we can add brief feedback. This would be helpful to have in the help menu please.
For example there is a new issue after the new updates on invoicing - this feature would allow a quick notification to Xero that something needs fixed or we are super impressed with new changes! It takes too long to add something to product ideas (like now), to be ignored or gather a lot of voters before something is fixed. Same with raising a case, most of the time it wont be a fix, we get directed back…2 votesThanks for your input to product ideas, Nadine.
Though there is no direct way to leave feedback in the product atm, there are now many ways our team's are surfacing in product messaging to updates users of a change and request feedback especially through staggered releases.
We'll continue to consider how and when is best to engage with customers through Xero and will keep a watchful eye on support for your idea here.
In the meantime please do feel free to start ideas for changes you feel could further improve your experience with Xero through Xero product ideas, here 😊

Xero Support - Ability to download support conversations
Xero support is first class. It would be useful to have the ability to download support conversations.
2 votesThanks for the feedback, Steve I've passed along your compliments to our support team too.
Out of interest is there anything in particular you'd like to be able to download your support conversations for? e.g would you be wanting to share these somewhere else or file them somewhere to have on hand? This'd be great to share back with our team.
For the time being, as you might've found (though a little manual) - you can copy & paste the detail of a support case internal an external document such as Google Docs or MS Word.

Products and Services - Non-Sell Items when allocated to projects retain the orginal information.
Within Products and Services when items are set up that aren't invoiceable costs, and therefore the "Sell" box unticked, when they are allocated as to Projects these items don't show as "Non-Chargeable" costs as they should do, they show as "% Mark-up" costs. Therefore, when going to "Invoice Tasks and Expenses", they appear in the list of potentially invoiceable items.
Therefore, each expense item has to be edited in each individual project and switch it from "% Mark-up" to "Non-Chargeable. Such costs should automatically come through as "Non-Chargeable".
Also, "Find and Recode" feature doesn't recode the Product and Services type…

Billing - Performing Arts Business Discount
Small emerging creatives in the performing arts fields, such as bands and musicians, currently are unable to afford accounting software such as Xero, and as a result, often struggle with managing their finances effectively. Especially given the devastating impact of COVID-19, I feel it would be incredibly useful to provide a Xero subscription discount to eligible small and micro businesses, such as the one currently offered to Football Clubs.

Subscriber change over
The subscriber has left the business. I have access but cannot invite support to the ticket. I need to change the subscriber to me. I am the new Director. Please contact me
1 voteHi Paul
It looks like you contacted our support team on this one, from which a case was raised and assisted on by our specialists.
As a result, I've changed the idea status to 'Not in pipeline', as it doesn't look like it's an idea that you have suggested.
However, feel free to submit your ideas or feedback on our product ideas page!
Kind regards,
Ridhwaan

Xero website - Bulletin board for posting businesses for sale
Xero now has a vast database of businesses many of which are profitable, and many of which are probably less so. At any rate, it has access many savvy business individuals who have capital willing to invest within and outside of their boarders. Perhaps it could create a meeting place for willing buyers and sellers of businesses. I for one am ready to retire. My business is marginal but has opportunities for someone who wants to get into my domestic market.
1 voteVery interesting idea, Myles. It's not something that exists atm, but I've shared back with our team that manage our website. We'll keep an eye on the interest from others in this here and let you know if there's any updates to share.

Reporting Section under Ideas
Financial reporting is a critical business need of any business using software. Its strange that Xero dont have this as a catagory under Small business ideas. Can we add "Reports" as a catagory. Xero is poor compared to quickbooks now so need to udnerstand if its ever going to change or whether we need to move. I will only be able to gauge this if there are lots or zero user ideas on reporting (perhaps its only me that thinks its "ok but not great"
1 voteHi Robert, to give a bit of an update here as you may have seen through our Xero blog we have some changes that are coming that includes a simpler navigation.
Along side this we will be looking to make some updates to also simplify and make it easier for our customers to categorise their ideas in the forums here.
Totally get how having Reporting as it's own option would make sense and that is something we're looking at directly as part of this. I'll share as soon as we're confirmed on the new structure.

integration with propertyme.com.au & propertytree.com
Integration with propertytree.com & propertyme.com.au for P&L
1 voteSorry we've note responded to your idea here sooner, John. We don't typically build integrations with other applications ourselves. Instead we have a developer centre where interested parties can come to get information and collaborate if they are interested in integrating with Xero. If not already I'd recommend seeing if this is something Property tree would be interested in developing from their end. You can share our developer platform here.

Xero Learning - Remove sequence recall questions
I recently encountered and failed a question about user invitation, which I have used many times without problem. Quite why the learning organisation has increasingly focused on sequence recall rather than book-keeping, is something of a mystery. Good software should be intuitive where there is no need to remember the exact order of clicking presented options.

Xero accounting app: Download PDF invoice from mobile devices
Make an invoice pdf downloadable from a mobile device.
I get invoices from a supplier via email but it's only viewable as a PDF on a desktop, this stops me from being able to send the invoice to Dext.
