Hi team, we thoroughly appreciate all the feedback we’ve received from customers about the new homepage experience. We hear you and are committed to providing more customisation options, which’ll help with some of the pain points raised in this idea.
Currently we’re exploring the ability to resize widgets and simplify widgets and allow you to remove charts, and as you'll see from my recent update on another idea we have plans for exploring 'views' in the coming months.
It’s worth noting that currently you can "Customise" the homepage to remove widgets that you don’t want to see and simplify your view.
We’d also like to acknowledge feedback here on the red colouring - To provide some insight this was intentional, and is used to highlight what needs attention, which actually came from our early feedback and testing. However, we appreciate hearing from more users on this and will continue to…

I'd suggest it's time for Xero to actually survey their paying customers and see if they actually want to keep this very poorly designed home page. This product ideas page does not give a clear impression of how the majority of people feel. I think it's fair to say from the comments below that most commenters hate the new home page. Is Xero listening?

@Kelly Munro This new homepage update is such a huge step backwards. It really is very inferior to the previous layout - from a usability point in particular. You have received loads of feedback (many many comments below) on how bad this update is - it really should be possible for your users to choose the old layout while you work on improvements.

The new dashboard layout is disappointing. The previous layout is by far my preferred. Simple and easy to access all the information I need. The new layout appears to be a significant step backwards.
Also, usability when moving around and resizing widgets in poor. Just aligning all my bank accounts in a column on the far right is a feat in itself.. each time you drag a widget to the left, an existing widget on the left then pops out to the right. The layout is cluttered and blocky.. maybe delay the rollout until you can improve on what you had before? -

Appreciate hearing your feedback on this here, Tania. I can assure you our teams did a lot of testing with all aspects of the homepage prior to it's rollout however we totally understand there are different views of what information would be most valuable, where. This is exactly the type of thing we're keen to hear and understand the appetite of through product ideas.
We don't have any immediate plans for changing the placement of the Drafts link within the Invoices owed to you, or Bills to pay widgets however we'll begin to get a sense of the community interest and be sure to share if there are any updates planned for this, here.

Hi everyone, it's easy to see why you’d want more flexibility on the dashboard. When you log in, you want the most important info right there—without having to scroll past everything else.
For now, Edit dashboard lets you reorder widgets and hide the ones you don’t use often.
However, we understand that greater layout flexibility could take dashboard customisation to another level, making it feel genuinely personalised to how you prefer to work.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support to see how many others are looking for more control over dashboard layout.

Thanks for your feedback on the new homepage here. We appreciate what works well and not so well for our customers with the new experience. Our product team have been taking this all onboard as they continue to plan their roadmaps. Since initially released in beta, they've made some changes to the 'Cash in and out' and 'Chart of accounts' widgets so when customising your view you'll now have the options to 'Make larger' or 'Make smaller'.
Right now, they're also considering sizing of other widgets and your contributions in this idea are super useful to their exploration of this. I'll be sure to share any further updates of the sizing of widgets with you all here.

I recommend raising a support ticket with Xero and directly referencing the feedback here (a link to this page). It seems that they're not monitoring or communicating via this forum.
