   Hi team, we have some updates to share. Before we dive into the details, we want to be clear that while we’re committed to monitoring, learning, and refining the Homepage, we don’t intend to return to the previous Dashboard style or its column-based widget layout.

   A few months back, we rolled out several enhancements to the "Edit homepage" capability to give you better control over your layout, including:

   • Widgets that remain stationary until they are dropped into a new placement
   • A "shadow" preview showing exactly where a widget will be placed during drag-and-drop
   • Refined animations for a much smoother visual experience
   • Improved on-page guidance regarding how to save multiple layouts across different screen sizes

   In addition to the existing size options for Chart of Accounts and Cash In and Out, our team is currently building smaller widget sizes for Invoices Owed to You, Bills to Pay, Chart of Account, Cash in and Out and Recent Invoice payments widgets. This includes customisation of the data within these widgets to best suit your needs, such as removing the charts. We’ll provide a confirmation once these updates are live.

   There are also other enhancements that our teams are beginning to explore to further solve needs shared in feedback here, so we’ll continue to keep you updated.

   If you need help setting up or editing your homepage, please reach out to the Xero Support team. They can help you design a view that best supports your specific workflows. Thanks

   I think this new layout could work if there was a way to have empty card slots. That way the user could space things out and not have everything right next to each other. It's annoying how the cards reshuffle right next to each other when you remove a card

   The new dashboard looks good on the surface (full width page, sleek/modern looking cards. However it has zero visual hierarchy.

   I have 11 bank accounts and all the cards on the screen look identical and so cluttered. There's no spacing or logical grouping of cards which makes it extremely hard to read.
