    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…

    This is probably due to window resizing. I've made a separate post about this. (https://productideas.xero.com/forums/966063-new-homepage/suggestions/50901080-widgets-jump-around-on-the-new-homepage-when-the-w)

    My ability to navigate efficiently in Xero depends on the homepage widgets being in a predictable place. If I open Xero in a tab of a browser window that has a different width to the one in which I last opened Xero, everything is in a different place and I'm immediately disorientated.

    This is particularly bad for me because I have a lot of bank accounts (chequing, credit card, PayPal in multiple currencies, Wise in multiple currencies, cash in several currencies) so I have a lot of widgets. It was difficult to get them where I wanted when editing the homepage immediately after I was switched to it, and now they won't stay where I want them. My preference is to have the bank accounts in a single column on the left, in a set order that I can choose, and all the other widgets (invoices, bills, etc.) in a single column on the right. Currently, it's impossible to achieve this. If the window is only slightly wider than normal, several of the bank accounts move to a third column on the right.

    Edit: this has been extensively discussed in another post (https://productideas.xero.com/forums/966063-new-homepage/suggestions/50789081-homepage-ability-to-cap-fix-the-number-of-colu).
