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.

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.
Just to confirm for everyone coming across this idea - While slightly changed in terms of placement it's possible to view Drafts for Invoices and Bills in their related Invoices owed to you, or Bills to pay widgets.
This is now found beneath the graph where you can click the 'x' drafts text to go straight to the list of draft invoices (or bills) - see image
We don't have any immediate plans for changing the placement of the Drafts link within the Invoices owed to…

I do not understand why it has been repeatedly mentioned on several threads asking to move the draft button to a more convenient location again that you will not be doing that. It is very easy to miss the drafts now as I cant see the list of drafts waiting for me without scrolling, and I have a very large monitor, I can't imagine this is easier for those with normal sized monitors. We should at least be able to remove the graphs so it isnt wasting so much space. The moving of the drafts button has been one of my biggest frustrations with the new layout aside from the mental exhaustion of the cluttered new layout

Hi Tim, trying to better understand the point you've noted on selecting multiple invoices can you share more on the process you're taking here and what you used to do in the previous Dashboard?

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

Hi everyone, we appreciate the attention this idea has been getting. It's really good to hear how we can continue to improve the Homepage for our differing customers needs. We understand not all the widgets maybe useful to every user, and the 'Customise' button will let you add or remove widgets to reduce what you see on the Homepage.
Taking on board feedback we're looking at the sizing of widgets and you'll find the 'Chart of Accounts' and 'Cash in and out' widgets are now smaller by default with an option to 'Make larger' - You can follow further updates for this on the idea here.
We have plans to dig deeper into possible 'view' options (like the different levels of views being asked here) in the new year and I'll share further updates here when this gets picked up. 🙂

How frustrating to watch three months of complains and concerns roll in on this thread with no response till now only to get a response that still shows a clear lack of understanding what their clientele needs and wants. These don't sound like fixes by any means with the usability because they're still running around trying to figure out the cosmetics of the new homepage when the cosmetics AND functionality of the old homepage was perfectly fine. The fact that I see many people in this and other homepage threads saying they are taking their business elsewhere over this shows the lack of trust xero is building with their client base. What a disappointing response. My recommendation is at the very least take the new homepage "look" and have it more laid out like the old homepage, similar sizes and spacing. Easy fix to the visual issues that people are having and then you can get down to the other details causing issues like the moving of the drafts to a less visible place and the bugs and glitches occurring with this new setup.
