Hi community, as mentioned in my last post we want to keep you looped in on changes around autosave.
Our product team has continued to focus attention on how we can make invoicing faster and more responsive to improve our customers' experience.
We've now optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.
While we don't have any plans to remove autosave, there is the possibility that we would make updates to improve experiences related to autosave in the future - I've provided links below to ideas that have been raised and remain open for consideration;
- Invoicing - Undo/revert to previous version of an invoice
- Exclude Auto Save from History and Notes
- Invoices - Add invoice number when invoice is Approved
Thanks again for all your feedback and sharing with us in the forums here.

This is - yet again, and unsurprisingly - so disappointing. I mean, great that you take some used feedback on board and implement changes. But, why is it that you can't also see that there's a group of users who don't want this 'feature'?
Provide an option to switch it off, like Microsoft does! Provide an option to undo, like ... everybody else does.Autosave is slowing things down - I have to slow my tabbing (or flipping clicking) for it to keep up. Which is bonkers.
I see comments, including in this thread, that Xero is changing stuff to appeal to the small time users, which I find odd. I mean, that's how they started, right? I can't speak for anyone else, but I am a single-person, solopreneur TINY business that does very little invoicing. I can assure you the changes don't appeal to me at all. They drive me batshit crazy. When I first started with Xero I could just do it all intuitively, and without any coaching or experience. It just worked. I use a range of tech in my - just me, doing all the things - business, and am not unable to figure things out and pick things up as I go. I actively loathe Xero and the recent changes they have implemented, and dread what else is coming our way. Very sad.

Any progress on this?
At this point I'd take this over reducing the grid size if I was forced to make a choice. The permanent auto save is an absolute nightmare, and the fact that there is no back/undo option is beyond bonkersAn error occurred while saving the comment Annie Thorne

Yes, yes, yes! I'm in agreement with both of these points.

agree! It would make the process much smoother if an approved leave absence imported in to the timesheet.

Any update on this request? It would make my admin much, much smoother - particularly over holiday periods and other absences - if I could batch up my time sheet entry.
I'm sure there are more than 13 users that would vote for this if they knew it existed!!!Annie Thorne

I've just noticed that it only pulls in the description, and not the item code.
Xero - when you get round to reviewing this, please can you fix it properly?

Hi team, we appreciate the on-going support and feedback we're receiving on this idea and pleased to be able to share this update. Our product team are actively exploring how we can best solve for the needs raised here, although at this time are unable to provide any set timeframes.
They are very much aware of the appetite from our community on this, and as part of their exploration have reached out some users here as they gather insights.

Hi everyone, I'm pleased to share that we're moving forward with the ability to schedule the send of an invoice from Xero.
We're in the early phase of releasing our new invoicing scheduler to customers, and appreciating the direct interest you've all shown here we've included everyone that's voted on this idea in our initial rollout!
You'll see a tool tip on the invoice page for email scheduling, and be able to choose the right date/time when you go to email an invoice (from the send email dropdown). 😊
We're really keen to hear your feedback.
We appreciate there are asks within this idea for being able to schedule the send of other document type such as payslips and want to be upfront that this isn't in the roadmap at present. However, once our invoice scheduler is out to all, we'll be monitoring it's use closely and consider how this…

I've been sent here from a previous idea - Schedule invoice to send on future date - and I'm not sure that they're quite the same thing.
I want to be able to schedule send invoices, and I want to be able to do it on the fly, not through a system wide setting - so, if I'm creating invoices from my sofa on a Friday night I'd like to be able to schedule them to go on a Monday (or whatever day I choose).
But honestly? What I'd really like above all else? Is for the absolute travesty of 'new' invoicing to be dealt with.

Hi team, we appreciate the interest in being able to add a planned date when entering a bill in Xero. While this isn't in our immediate plans our team are aware and keeping a close eye of the support for this idea.
While this isn't currently possible when manually entering bills I wanted to highlight our new Quick view and edit feature - If you upload or email bills to create drafts in your organisation you'll find you can use the quick view option to easily add a planned date.
If you don't have the edit option in your bills just yet, this feature is in the process of rolling out and should be with all customers soon. 😊

Please reconsider the decision around autosave in 'new' invoicing. It's a nightmare. Users should have the option to use it or not.
Because there is a lag in invoicing and I type and tab more quickly than invoice can manage ... I tab through the dates and find myself in the invoice number field, which means I type over it and get a nonsense invoice number. Then I have to come out. Find what the next invoice number in the sequence should be and start all over again.
All extra - maddening - steps I never had before.
Either xero needs to speed up and lose the lag, or autosave needs to go, or - ideally - both things could happen.
