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.

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

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.
