    Hi everyone, we appreciate all the feedback you've shared.

    We'd like to share some changes that have been made since our last update;

    • The Demo Company now appears as its own item, separate from the Recent organisations list.
    • Separately your recent organisations section can be collapsed, which we understand is helpful for users when sharing their screen.
    • There's also now a banner that clearly identifies when you’re in the Demo Company, to help avoid scenarios of entering real organisation data in the wrong place.

    We recognise there’s continued interest in being able to hide this option completely. While our product team is aware of this appetite and will continue to consider it in future planning, we want to be transparent here that there are no plans to develop a hide or remove setting in the near term.

    We hope these changes make the experience clearer and help reduce accidental access.

    This is a useless feature and the easiest to fix. This request has been open for over 10 YEARS! @xero get it done!

    Unfortunately, it seems that Xero is focused in creating new functionality instead of fixing simple yet annoying features. 10 years of asking has not helped.

    Indeed 10 years! This new format did not import all of the comments and requests from the original forum version.

    This has to be one of the easiest fixes and yet for some reason Xero just ignores the obvious. Who needs Demo company after setup?!

    Looks like Xero made some changes to company selection menu and still ignored the request of many to delete the DEMO company, which is useless once you setup your own company. This feature and ignoring to fix it defies any logic.

    This has been a requested modification for many years now and it appears that Xero just ignores this, even though it is just common sense and simple implementation.

    This had a lot of traction on the previous forum and seems that it’s starting from scratch with this new platform. They should have transferred all of the previous comments from people and votes.

    This was a hot topic on Xero Community and do not see all of the comments from there. Either way, it still boggles my mind why this has not yet been implemented. As if we are asking to reprogram the entire site. This is probably the singular most easiest implementation of all requests on this forum.
