Hi everyone, we're working on a new Workpapers solution which will build a foundation that can support more granular access controls in the future.
We have plans to enable the ability to restrict access to sensitive workpapers and documents, ensuring only the right people can view or edit them, and all actions will be auditable. We'll be rolling the new solution out in phases, and we'll keep you updated on the progress for permissions through this idea.

Hi everyone, we're excited to share a significant update with you all. With the development of a new Xero Workpapers you'll have a new calculator tool (in the form of blank calculation sheets or light spreadsheet functionality), allowing you to perform basic calculations.
Until you get new Workpapers, the best option is to continue using external spreadsheets to perform your calculations and attach them as supporting documents.
We're initially rolling out in Australia, and we'll be sure to keep you updated on our progress as we this goes out to other regions.

Hi team, I'm happy to let you know that we’re working on a new Xero Workpapers solution, within which practices will be able to grant staff the ability to see all workpaper packs for clients they have access to 😊
In addition, it offers more control over staff permissions within Workpapers, including the ability to restrict certain actions to just administrators or reviewers.
We've just started rollout to Australian partners with more regions to come in the new year. Thanks again for your feedback and we'll post another update to confirm when released to all Partners.

I cannot work out why this wouldn't be a standard workpaper by now? We do it for almost EVERY trading entity.

Hi everyone, we appreciate your feedback. Our product team are very much across the ideas in this forum with the new Workpapers solution being progressively released.
Right now, we're monitoring feedback and engagement with the new solution closely and have plans to continue enhancing this product.
I'll be sure to share any progress for Individual Tax returns in Workpapers with you here.

I firmly agree - you should be able to review all workpapers for a group in one area. Not have to view some in Xero Workpapers, and the others in excel or pdf docs. It's incredibly inefficient to not be able to just drag and drop a relevant pdf into a ffile note section

Thanks for the feedback here, everyone. We get how being able to use custom Excel templates for Workpapers could save you time and power up your use of Xero Workpapers.
Currently, you can export Workpapers data to Excel and then copy info into your preferred template. Allowing you to continue using your custom templates for now.
The good news is we're delivering a new Workpapers solution, and our team are exploring how to enable this functionality within this.
We'll post an update as soon as we have any news to share.

Hi team! We're happy to announce that the ability to roll forward existing workpaper packs, URL's and Notes is coming with our new Xero Workpapers. This new solution leverages permanent documents, and has improved data preservation to help minimise the manual rework each year, and get a head start with rolling over key information from previous years.
We're planning ongoing enhancements to this new solution to ensure your workflow is robust and intuitive. We're starting release to our Australian partners now, and other regions will have access from early 2026. We'll keep you updated as the launch for this goes wider.

When setting up and adding workpaper packs, the roles assigned as Manager, Partner and Practice Admin can Add/View a Workpaper Pack for our Firm Financial File. These 3 types of users are rarely the owner or director of a firm. The only way to keep firm data protected is to have the director managing settings, adding workpaper packs and assigning the workpapers. This does not happen in practices. It is very rare the owner is setting up workpaper files. Why is there no option to directly lock the Tax and Workpapers of the firm? Seems far out of touch and creates a huge waste of time for the owner to be doing this kind of work when there's new jobs to be added.
