    Hi everyone, the demo company provides the ability to test and trial Xero features without impacting data in your live organisation. It's especially useful when you're getting started with the product or want to see how a feature works that you haven't used before.

    That said, we understand not all our customers want or need access to the demo company. We appreciate your feedback on being able to hide or remove this here, and our product team are aware of the interest and feedback surrounding this - Both from this direct thread and the previous commentary and votes from the older forum where this originated.

    While we don't have immediate plans, this is an area our team are looking to review. We will update you if there is any planned changes to this, through this idea.

    I get that the Demo Company has value even after you set up your org, but please let us get it out of the main dropdown menu. Put it in the help menu or let us toggle its visibility in settings.

    Accidentally clicking it instead of settings is likely, and since it brings up a bunch of dummy data it isn't just confusing it's potentially panic-inducing (and certainly time-wasting) for users who don't realize they've entered a pretend fantasy land from *inside of their accounting software*.

    This is not just a UX request, it is a most basic duty of this kind of tool to *only* ever show accurate information.
