Hi everyone, thanks again for sharing input on widget placement on the homepage.
As mentioned in our last update, once you Edit Homepage and Save the layout this will be saved for that screen size. If you change screens a prompt is also surfaced to explain that you may want to reset and save your layout.
While we don’t have plans to allow vertical stacking at this stage, we're improving the edit experience. This will make it easier to see how changing a widget's position shifts other items on your screen. I’ll let you know as soon as this is released.

Hi everyone, thanks for your on-going involvement in the idea here.
We understand many of our customers are trading internationally. While we haven't been able to deliver a solution as yet, this is still high on our radar.
Right now, depending on the country selected when setting up organisations will have different field options - Sort code in UK, BSB code in AU and Routing number in US. This explains the differences some in the conversation have mentioned. I appreciate it's not a solution but for the time being any extra detail (IBAN or any other banking detail) for the contact could be added as a note to the contacts record that can be looked up before making payments.
For our UK customers that have set up international bill payments - Though not direct from Contacts you can edit and save international payment details for a supplier through the flow…

Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know why having a prompt before deleting files is helpful, Elena.
Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
We will be keeping an eye out on the traction this idea receives within the community, here. Thanks

We understand why this idea is quickly gaining traction. Being able to start typing in the search bar as soon as the contacts page loads would be a small but meaningful improvement.
Right now, the cursor doesn’t land in the search bar by default, so it’s an extra click each time.
This idea's now in the Gaining Support stage. If it’s something that would make a difference to your workflow, adding your vote or comment helps us understand the wider demand—and gives our product team more to work with when prioritising updates.
We’ll post here with any changes or progress.

Hi community, thank you for all the engagement and we can see the growing interest in improvements to help simplify your view of information on the new Homepage and navigate important information and insights with more ease.
Right now, our team have a few pieces of work underway intended to help with some of the pain points that have been raised here these include:
- More options for the sizing of widgets so you can reduce these frames and better position this information on your screen
- More customisation of information within a widget like being able to remove visuals
- Improving the experience of moving widgets when editing the homepage to make it more obvious when dragging and dropping them to different positions on the page
We’ve also roadmapped further changes for later this year, once everyone is on the new experience. I’ll share more updates as we progress.

Thanks for sharing this, where you'd like an option to hide notifications like this one from the menu banner, and free up some space on the screen.
We've reviewed this. and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. You might like to share this idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments about how they'd like this too!

Thank you to everyone that's joined and shared feedback on our new homepage experience, here. Continuing to review and take this on board our team are working on some updates to the Invoices owed to you and Bills to pay widgets.
The intention is to offer more flexibility in the size of these widgets with the ability to reduce and remove the graph from showing.
I'll come back to share more as this progresses.

Hi everyone, we appreciate and want to thank everyone for feedback on the responsiveness of the new Homepage. This has been shared back with our product teams as they continue to develop this experience.
At this stage, there are no plans to fix the number of columns when using the Homepage. However, our team will continue to monitor usage on this closely.
One recent change we’ve introduced is that the Homepage layout can be saved at each screen size.
For example, if you set up and save the Homepage layout for your laptop and then move to a larger monitor you’ll see this adapt. However, if you ‘edit’ the Homepage and save the layout separately from your monitor Xero will remember the layout for each screen size. You should only need to do this once for each screen you use.
We’re looking at enhancing the edit layout experience soon to…

Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate the feedback we've been receiving about the sizing of widgets and desire for more flexibility with these.
Our product teams are currently working on updates to allow resizing of more of the widgets on the Homepage.
There are considerations that weigh into what's possible' like what information sits within each widget.
The resizing will work in the same way as what has been provided with the Cash in and out, and Chart of accounts watch list widget.
I'll be sure to keep you updated here as new widget sizes are rolled out. Thanks

Thanks for the input and sharing your feedback here, everyone.
We know many of you asked for widget borders to help separate information. As a first step, we’ve subtly darkened the homepage background to increase contrast and make the widget boundaries clearer.
We’d love to know if this change has made the information easier for you to scan and consume. Please do let us know here 🙏🏻

I agree Laurie - the home page is not as clear as the older format.
Xero seem to have given in to their weakness, which is making everything REALLY BIG on the screen, thus requiring a lot more scrolling around.
This happened with the 'new' invoicing screen, and now again with the new home page.Sarah Smith

Thanks for your feedback and for pointing out how the term "Payments" can be confusing—especially for those new to Xero or bookkeeping.
We get that using clearer terms like "Receipt" or "Payment Received" might feel more intuitive and help reduce confusion when working through allocation of payments on an invoice.
Right now, this idea’s open for feedback and support, so feel free to keep voting and sharing how a change like this could help in your day-to-day.

Hi team, I know it's been some time since we last updated this idea. Please know we have close eyes on this feature and this is a change our product team are currently working on.
While we can't give a definite timeframe work is progressing well and we'll keep you updated of when this is available, here. Thanks for your engagement with us through product ideas.

So, despite your customers complaining about 'new' invoicing since it was launched (forced on us), your product team are still just working on it...?
This is one of the most common complaints (and yes, complaints, not just comments or ideas), on this portal, but Xero doesn't feel it necessary to listen and expedite the issues raised.
I've just received a customer survey from Xero, asking how likely I was to recommend Xero to a friend. When I selected the '0' button, strangely the survey was no longer taking responses .... Clearly your ears are closed unless the feedback is positive!

What about the size of new invoicing on the screen - way too large for the screen when I'm creating invoices with a lot of lines - is this 'issue' also under review as I note that the majority of users also find this unhelpful and it requires a lot of scrolling around to check/save .....

Hi Stewart, is there a way you see the export being more helpful for you. For example would you be looking for a summary of each invoice? The Receivable Summary and Detail reports maybe useful for this sort of view and can be exported.

Hi community, appreciate your feedback. Currently our team are working on some improvements to the To field in new invoicing and the contacts card that appears when selecting a contact. We understand some of our customers make use of the keyboard much more than the mouse and in reviewing the flow when using Tab the team will be making a change to make selection of a contact and movement to the date field smoother. I'll come back to confirm the detail of the change when this is released.

Has the Xero Team responded on this duplication issue? It's clearly an issue that many have been experiencing.
We're a small company, but I still find duplicate records and have to go through the rigmarole of merging and archiving the duplicates.
