    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

    Keyboard shortcuts to remember are definitely not solving the problem here. As majority agree set Approve as the default and drop down to add other tasks such as email. A lot of invoices are created and sent later/not sent. Simple solution here Xero.

    Please keep it at simply "Approve" and let the user decide what they then want to do with it. I cannot see that the majority of customers would want this. As a bookkeeper with many clients, I know few who would. In my practice I invoice customers monthly and complete and approve all my invoices before checking and doing a bulk email. I do not want to accidentally send an invoice and this is likely to happen under the New Invoicing. If left as is, there will be another extra step to change it to simply Approve

    Hi team, now in 2025 and many here will have received our recent communication leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing on 27 Feb this year. 

    We’re continuing to work hard on delivering more features within new invoicing that’ll help most in your workflow. 

    Thanks for staying engaged with us on changes that’ll help you through the idea here.

    To give an update on recent deliveries that positively impact some of you that have shared on the idea here. Late last year we released improvements to the issue and due date fields so you can now use all the date entry shortcuts that were available in classic, and we made it simpler to access the date picker. We also updated the Files attachment modal so you can now drag & drop files anywhere on the page, and when you use tracked inventory you can see the number of items…

    Agree - yet another click added here. Why are Xero adding time to our processes? Keep it at the bottom of the invoice please!
