Hi everyone, thanks for your continued feedback and we appreciate you sharing your sentiment here. We’re continuing to evolve the Homepage experience to better meet more of our customers’ needs, and your input is a big part of shaping those improvements.
One of the strongest themes in the feedback has been widget sizing. We’ve now released resize options for the Tasks, Invoices owed to you, Bills to pay, and Net profit and loss widgets, in addition to the Chart of accounts watchlist and Cash in and out widgets.
For the small size Invoices owed to you and Bills to pay widgets, once you’ve saved your Homepage, you’ll also see an option to toggle the chart on or off if you’d prefer to focus just on the figures.
There’s more updates in the works, and I’ll keep sharing further updates with you here.

Hi community, we'd like to share an update as we've released new size options for a few more widgets. In addition to the Chart of accounts watchlist and Cash in and out you now have the option to Resize the following widgets;
- Tasks
- Net profit or loss
- Bills to pay
- Invoices owed to you
Along with this release, once the Homepage is saved and when the Small option is selected for either Bills to pay, or Invoices owed to you widgets, there'll be the option to toggle the chart on or off from the Homepage.
We'll be extending Resize out to more widgets soon, so I'll continue to keep you updated here.

Not a fan of the new homepage. The widgets are too big with so much whitespace it makes you wonder why. Surely they can be resized to smaller tiles. They lost the graphs even though they are bigger!
Scrolling the homepage just to see what bank accounts need to be reconciled is missing the point of a dashboard. The 8 bank accounts we have dont even fit on one screen, making it at least a 3 page dashboard if you want any of the even bigger tiles

Not a fan of the autoresizing of the dashboard. The claim is that the sized screen will be remembered for each screen size you use. That is not true!
It might remember it for each device, but for those of us that use multiple extended desktop screens where Xero may be run on the smaller laptop screen but also sometime run on the adjacent larger extended screen, then the layout goes from a remembered 3 column tile sequence to a 4 column layout where the tiles no long display in the original planned pattern (eg bank accounts in first 2 columns and invoices and bills tiles in the third) but end up in the same horizontal scrolling sequence which does not make sense in a 4 column layout.
Maybe the option of a maximum column count setting would assist maintaining the layout no matter what screen size it is displayed on on.
Of course smaller tiles where everything fits on 1 homepage screen (instead of 3 pages of scrolling homepage) would solve it too.
