Hi team, we have some updates to share. Before we dive into the details, we want to be clear that while we’re committed to monitoring, learning, and refining the Homepage, we don’t intend to return to the previous Dashboard style or its column-based widget layout.
A few months back, we rolled out several enhancements to the "Edit homepage" capability to give you better control over your layout, including:
Widgets that remain stationary until they are dropped into a new placement
A "shadow" preview showing exactly where a widget will be placed during drag-and-drop
Refined animations for a much smoother visual experience
Improved on-page guidance regarding how to save multiple layouts across different screen sizes
In addition to the existing size options for Chart of Accounts and Cash In and Out, our team is currently building smaller widget sizes for Invoices Owed to You, Bills to Pay, Chart of Account, Cash in and Out and Recent Invoice payments widgets. This includes customisation of the data within these widgets to best suit your needs, such as removing the charts. We’ll provide a confirmation once these updates are live.
There are also other enhancements that our teams are beginning to explore to further solve needs shared in feedback here, so we’ll continue to keep you updated.
If you need help setting up or editing your homepage, please reach out to the Xero Support team. They can help you design a view that best supports your specific workflows. Thanks

My first thought when opening this up was 'what am I looking at?' I need a simpler interface which is something I have always loved about Xero vs QBO. This is busy and visually overwhelming. I freeze, unable to see what I am looking for even though it's in from of me. My hope is that this will be customizable per user and be granular so as to allow a minimal amount of widgets and colors. The combination of the two for me, makes this home page a nightmare.
