Hey Everyone! Thanks for the feedback on the New Workpapers experience. Xero Ask is available on the Classic Workpapers but as yet not available in the new Workpapers experience. We've reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support 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 vote too!
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

Thanks for sharing your idea for Xero's new Workpapers here, Michelle. There is an existing idea for a Loan Schedule that I've adde your vote to and we'll keep you updated on.
I've made your one here specific to a Hire Purchase workpaper. We don't have direct plans of this atm, but we'll share if there are any updates.

Hi everyone, we appreciate your feedback and request for a Division 7A worksheet within new Xero Workpapers.
This is now a worksheet available within Xero Workpapers Plus, helping practices manage and reconcile Division 7A loans and repayments.
Workpapers Plus is currently in early access for a limited group of Australian practices as we refine the experience with partner feedback. We’ll expand access of our new Plus solution to all AU practices over the coming months, along with the Division 7A worksheet and other advanced capabilities.
I'll come back to confirm here once Plus is made available across all our AU partner base. 🙂

Hi community, we hear you on the challenges presented by the current process, and having to manually calculate this outside Xero.
Though we don't have immediate plans in the roadmap, this is a feature we'll take into future planning, and we'll be sure to update you all here of any progress.
For now, the best way to handle this is to continue to calculate the apportionment outside of Xero and then manually enter the figures. Thanks

Hi team, we’ve seen a lot of support for this idea, and acknowledge why you’d like a simple way of reflecting if part of a fixed asset is used privately.
As Xero doesn’t currently offer a built-in way to allocate depreciation between business and private use I wanted to re-highlight from our last update how this can be recorded -
Currently you could post manual journals to record the private use apportionment of a Fixed Assets depreciation.
If you're using Fixed Assets in NZ it's possible to set up an asset and apportion a % for private use. However, it's important to note that it's not possible to apportion the private use depreciation of an asset prior to using Xero. In this case when you sell the asset a manual journal may be needed to correctly state the private use.
At this time, we want to be upfront that our…

I'm excited to share a major update that addresses this feedback directly. At Xerocon in September 2025, we announced a new strategic partnership with BGL, a leader in compliance and practice software. Together, we are building a new, deeply integrated Workpapers solution that will be embedded directly within Xero Practice Manager (XPM) and Xero Tax. This new solution is central to our compliance and practice tools roadmap and is designed to provide a seamless experience, leveraging BGL’s expertise in document management. We are pleased to confirm that the ability to add, rename, and reorder supporting documents is a key feature of this new BGL-powered Workpapers solution. This functionality is already available in BGL’s core product, which forms the foundation of our new offering. This means you'll soon have the flexibility to organize your documents as you work, without the frustrating workarounds you've mentioned.The new solution will also enable direct data…

When the workpapers are printed to PDF the supporting documentation all appears at end of the document. It would be great it is appeared after the workpaper for that item. Ie for Bank account you have the reconciliation workpaper and next page is the supporting copy of the bank statement.

Thanks for the feedback here, everyone. We get how being able to use custom Excel templates for Workpapers could save you time and power up your use of Xero Workpapers.
Currently, you can export Workpapers data to Excel and then copy info into your preferred template. Allowing you to continue using your custom templates for now.
The good news is we're delivering a new Workpapers solution, and our team are exploring how to enable this functionality within this.
We'll post an update as soon as we have any news to share.

Hi everyone, you can now send multiple reminders at once - you can find out more about it 👉 here. This'll reduce the time spent sending reminders for document packs.
We aren’t ruling out automated reminders in future though, so give it a go and let us know your thoughts!

Hi everyone, thanks for showing your interest here. We've been looking into your requests around Document packs, however want to be upfront that right now, editing sent packs is not on the immediate roadmap.
We appreciate you providing more details on the exact scenarios where being able to edit a sent pack would be most helpful. It provides a good picture of the specific problems you're facing, which will help us explore various solutions in the future.
We'll be sure to keep you updated on any progress.

Hi everyone, thanks for your support in the idea here. Reading over there are 2 separate requests in the one thread
- Ability to create a default email template for sending document packs
- A text box on single documents in a pack
We have another idea that's been started around the default email template across here and I invite all those interested to add their votes.
For the thread here I've updated the title slightly for the Text box on individual documents so we can track the interest in each of these separately.

Yes, we will not move to the new solution until a client query (similar to classic workpapers) is available. The ability to prepare a query for client, send to the client (sending attachments and client being able to send attachments back) and have the answers show directly in the workpapers is critical for our practice workflows.
