Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on new invoicing. We’re listening carefully to all feedback to make sure new invoicing has the functionality you need, as we prepare for retirement of the classic version.
We recognise that some things will be different, so we encourage you to spend some time familiarising yourself with the new version. We also believe all small businesses and advisors around the world can benefit from Xero, which is why we’re deeply committed to accessibility. We’re confident that in time, new invoicing will become easy to use and that you’ll enjoy the benefits of us being able to provide much more value on that platform quicker.
There's some improvements we have made to enhance workflow. For example when you create a new invoice the cursor will begin in the Contacts field, from here you can tab through all fields of your invoice to enter detail. We’ve also developed smart suggestions for due dates based on common dates people use most, or you can use Xero’s keyboard shortcuts to save time entering dates in Xero. If you have set a default due date in your invoice settings this will be applied when using new invoicing.
Our invoicing product team are very keen to keep improving new invoicing and encourage you to start a new idea if you’re unable to find an existing one that matches your needs.

I would have though that switching to new invoicing you retain the existing features and make it better, not drop features.
The loss of the email history was a disaster, but I see that has been fixed somewhat, but in adding a CC and BCC function (a nice positive!), but then you are ignoring those fields in the history tracking, which means CC and BCC is suddenly NOT so useful because it is not tracked.
Then in history you seem to be tracking almost every piece of filing out the invoice and tracking the completion of a field within the invoice - not so useful.
Was this new invoicing designed by a mouse-using non-accountant? Being able to complete an invoice ENTIRELY by using keyboard rather than mouse (or at least provide functionality for BOTH). There are so many more mouse-clicks required now.
It is good that you have created the ability to include fields or not, but that is quite limited, you have added boxes that you do NOT allow us to remove! Give us the ability to remove/hide "Online Payments" and "Currency". I note Online payments is now an extra piece to have to tab past.
What is with all the big font and white space??? I now can't see much of the account number and name fields because the input space is now so much bigger - why???
With the classic invoicing I could create an invoice and then immediately enter a payment related to that invoice, you have now made that step take extra effort to get to, and with having to use mouse more again! My fingers are getting RSI with all the mouse movements and clicks required, please stop with moving everything to being mouse driven, keyboard is MUCH more efficient for many things, please don't take away the ability to use the keyboard as much as possible (as an alternative at the very least - learn from Microsoft providing keyboard alternatives by using the "Alt" key, or similar functionality).
