Hi community, thank you for all the engagement and we can see the growing interest in improvements to help simplify your view of information on the new Homepage and navigate important information and insights with more ease.
Right now, our team have a few pieces of work underway intended to help with some of the pain points that have been raised here these include:
- More options for the sizing of widgets so you can reduce these frames and better position this information on your screen
- More customisation of information within a widget like being able to remove visuals
- Improving the experience of moving widgets when editing the homepage to make it more obvious when dragging and dropping them to different positions on the page
We’ve also roadmapped further changes for later this year, once everyone is on the new experience. I’ll share more updates as we progress.

I really dislike the new dashboard.
Why does Xero keep redesigning things that were already working instead of improving the features users have actually been asking for? There are long-standing requests that still haven’t been addressed, yet we keep getting forced UI redesigns.
The new widgets are far too dominant and “in your face”. The old dashboard was much more streamlined and easier to scan quickly.
The vertical layout made far more sense. Information flowed naturally from top to bottom. The new horizontal layout feels cluttered and harder to read. There is a reason newspapers were historically written in columns. It’s easier for the human eye to process information that way.
This redesign genuinely gives me stress and a headache when I open the dashboard. It feels visually overwhelming rather than clear and functional.
Accounting software should prioritise clarity, efficiency, and quick access to information. The previous dashboard achieved this far better than the new one.
It honestly feels like this was designed by someone who doesn’t actually use accounting software day to day.
At the very least, please give users the option to revert to the previous dashboard layout.
