Hi team, we have some updates to share. Before we dive into the details, we want to be clear that while we’re committed to monitoring, learning, and refining the Homepage, we don’t intend to return to the previous Dashboard style or its column-based widget layout.
A few months back, we rolled out several enhancements to the "Edit homepage" capability to give you better control over your layout, including:
- Widgets that remain stationary until they are dropped into a new placement
- A "shadow" preview showing exactly where a widget will be placed during drag-and-drop
- Refined animations for a much smoother visual experience
- Improved on-page guidance regarding how to save multiple layouts across different screen sizes
In addition to the existing size options for Chart of Accounts and Cash In and Out, our team is currently building smaller widget sizes for Invoices Owed to You, Bills to Pay, Chart of Account, Cash…

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.
