Hi community, we’ve just released some new keyboard shortcuts to new invoicing, that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with some simple keyboard entry options.
There’s a range of different shortcuts that you can explore, and in particular a few that I wanted to call out for ‘Approve’ options that I know will be of most interest to you, here;
- Approve (Ctrl-Alt-A OR Cmd-Opt-A on a Mac)
- Approve & add another (Ctrl-Alt-O OR Cmd-Opt-O on a Mac)
- Approve & print PDF (Ctrl-Alt-R OR Cmd-Opt-R on a Mac)
- Approve & email / send eInvoice (Ctrl-Alt-E OR Cmd-Opt-E on a Mac)
While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.

Absolutely businesses should be given the option to set their default preference for such a thing— it affects workflow so much! At the bare minimum, it should be a standard approve button with options to change action as it has been. If Xero wanted ultimately happy users, though, they’d let them be able to pick what works best for themselves with an option in the organization settings. I personally have always wanted “Approve and Add Another” as default, but I’ve never assumed every other user would want it that way. Let us pick our defaults, please

I wish there was an ability to set the company default button. Right now, with this button change, there are going to be problems in one of my organizations with invoicing. Xero should listen to its clients when they say this is an incredibly frustrating situation

Thanks for sharing in community here, Lindsay. Sales invoices and Bills are developed quite separately in Xero and we have a separate idea for the same in Sales invoices across here that you may also like to support.
Atm, we don't have direct plans for this change in either area but we'll keep those interested in each idea updated if there's any news.

This is something I desperately want as well! Right now I'm previewing the September invoicing look changes and I dislike that the button has been switched to Approve and Email. I feel like a lot of mistakes could be made here and want to be able to switch my default button. Approve and Add Another as a default option would save so much time

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned in this thread, there are so many comments going through at all times! But there is a feedback survey hidden on the new Invoicing page, which I encourage everyone to go into and fill out, too. If you click "Tips and Tricks," there is a link underneath it titled "We'd Love to Hear From You!" It is a one-question feedback survey asking how satisfied you are with the new Invoicing, and it provides a paragraph box where you can type why you are happy or unhappy.
