    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 doing my head in also. Why assume what we want? Give us the option!

    Quickbooks has had this function for quite some time. Quickbooks these days is seeming more and more attractive, not least because talking to anyone at Xero is like hitting your head against a wall.

    This whole new invoicing has been a shambles, adding in features that, as far as I can tell, no one was asking for, and in doing so ruining what was a perfectly good invoicing screen.

    Xero, in case you haven't picked up, i'm an increasingly unhappy customer.

    Hi everyone, appreciate your continued feedback on new invoicing. As mentioned in my last update we've now added a new Xero Central page for new invoicing.

    Along with updates to individual ideas on Xero Product Ideas, this page will become the single source of truth for key feature rollouts including:

    • what’s available in new invoicing right now,
    • timelines for features and enhancements going live in new invoicing, as well as
    • a comparison table between the classic and newer versions of invoicing.

    We'll be updating this page regularly.


    Relating to some of the more recent feedback there are some existing ideas that may also be of particular interest that you can join, like the ability to see the email the invoice was sent to in the history, or being able to see a timestamp, and reducing clicks and steps.

    Vote to keep classic please.

    I'm genuinely fuming at the developers who don't listen and clearly don't use their own product. They've added a whole bunch of features that, as far as I can tell, no one was calling for and in the process ruined the original functionality.

    Going to leave if they persist with this useless update.
