    Hi Wilianti, thanks for taking the time to share this idea. Your notes on reversal filtering and visual indicators help clarify how these enhancements could support your workflow.

    We’ve moved your post into Gaining Support, which opens it up for community votes and comments. It is now up to the community to show their interest, and this gives us a clearer picture of how many users might benefit from changes like these.

    We’ll update this thread when the idea gains traction and is reviewed further by the product team.

    I would like to request improvements to the Journal Report to make it more user-friendly for accountants and bookkeepers.
    Currently, reversal journals and their original entries appear together, which makes the report difficult to read and slows down review during month-end and year-end close.
    Please consider adding these enhancements:
    1. Preferred enhancement: Reversal Filters
    Please add filter options to control visibility of reversal-related journals:
    • Show or hide original journals
    • Show or hide reversal journals
    • View only normal (non-reversal) journals
    This would keep the full audit trail intact, but make the report much cleaner and easier to analyze.
    2. If Option 1 cannot be implemented: Add a Journal Source filter
    As an alternative solution, please add a simple Journal Source selector (for example):
    • System
    • Reversal
    This would still allow users to quickly identify and sort reversal journals even if full reversal filtering cannot be added.
    3. Visual indicators for reversals (very important)
    Please highlight reversal journals using red text or a small label.
    This makes reversals instantly visible.
    Our eyes naturally detect color differences faster than reading text, so red text helps users quickly spot reversal entries and understand the audit trail more clearly.
    Why this matters
    These improvements would:
    • Make the Journal Report significantly clearer and easier to use
    • Reduce confusion caused by reversal pairs appearing together
    • Speed up month-end and year-end auditing
    • Improve accuracy when reviewing automated journals

    • Enhance overall usability while keeping the audit trail fully intact
    Thank you for considering these enhancements — they would meaningfully improve the Journal Report for all Xero users.

    Thanks everyone, we want to acknowledge all the feedback about how we can improve your experience by making navigation easier while scrolling.

    Our product team are now exploring options such as a 'sticky' navigation bar or 'back to top' option, and appreciate all thats been shared about this by our community.

    While we can't commit to development as yet, I'll be sure to let you know further news of this, here.

    I would like to request a usability improvement for the new Xero interface.

    Currently, the top navigation bar (Home, Sales, Purchases, Accounting, etc.) and the organisation name disappear when scrolling. Because these elements are not fixed, users often lose visibility of which organisation they are working in while entering data or reviewing long pages.

    This has already caused several situations where data was accidentally entered into the wrong organisation. It’s not a user error — it occurs because the organisation name is not always visible, which makes it difficult to stay oriented during detailed data entry.

    Proposed solution:
    Please make the top menu and organisation header sticky (frozen in place), similar to “Freeze Panes” in Excel. Keeping the organisation name and navigation visible at all times would:

    Prevent accidental entry into the wrong organisation

    Improve accuracy

    Reduce scrolling fatigue

    Enhance workflow speed

    Make navigation easier and more intuitive

    This small UI enhancement would have a big impact on users who manage multiple organisations.

    Thank you for considering this improvement.
