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 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 🙏🏻

Thanks for spending time to review the new homepage! It's great to hear what information is most valuable for you to get an overview of your organisation.
While we don't have immediate plans for developing this specific idea atm, we're keeping a close eye on all feedback being shared in this forum for our product teams to consider as they keep enhancing this experience.
I'll share if there are any updates.

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

I agree the new home page feels much clunky and cluttered, I far prefer the old layout, it is cleaner and easier to navigate
If Xero truly “heard us,” as stated — “We hear you and are committed to providing more customisation options” — then you would stop destabilising functionality that was working perfectly well.
A genuine response to customer feedback would include allowing users to retain the existing dashboard if it meets their needs. Removing that option while continuing to alter the interface is not listening; it is imposing change for its own sake.
The volume of negative feedback and repeated threats from long‑term customers to change accounting software should, by now, have had a measurable impact on development priorities. Yet instead of addressing those concerns, Xero continues to increase pricing while repeatedly “tuning” dashboards that do not require change.
This approach reinforces the perception that customer feedback is acknowledged rhetorically but ignored in practice. Persisting with unnecessary UI changes — particularly when they degrade usability — undermines trust and confidence in the platform and in the development team’s decision‑making.
