    Hi team, thanks for sharing detail of the value in this idea in the ways you invoice.

    We've just released a new line item grid in invoicing which includes the ability to manually add blank rows and shift these to where you're like them placed in your invoice.

    That said, I want to be transparent in how this works - When you save your invoice any blank lines will be removed. So, if you'd like blank lines to help break your invoice into sections, you'll need to enter a character in the Description field of the blank line. Even a full stop '.' or dash '-' would suffice.

    So... essentially no change to the work-around we have had to find for ourselves and no solution to the many requests to be able to create professional-looking invoices/quotes which represent our brands well by having the ability to insert a BLANK line?

    The previous version of invoicing had the capability to create a blank line by simply pressing the Return key before then typing the line item. The new version has removed this capability. So an "upgrade" has removed a feature that many businesses view as vital to the professional presentation of their invoices. My suggestion is that Xero's "process of developing" [now two months old] needs to become "released the fix" with acknowledgement that the downgrading of functionality was unintended.
