Hi everyone, we really appreciate your feedback and the growing support this idea has received. Our product teams have been taking on board all that our customers have shared back on the new Homepage and are currently working on improvements to the sizing of some of the widgets including the Invoices owed to you and Bills to pay widgets - The intention is to provide a smaller widget size in which drafts will be shown beside the chart instead of below, helping the visibility and ease of use as you're after here.
I'll be sure to round back and update you when this is delivered 🙂

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 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…

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.

Hi everyone, we know being able to have more control over widgets on your Homepage will improve our users experience and want to share a quick progress update on where things are at:
Currently the Cash In & Out and Chart of Accounts Watchlist widgets have toggle options for smaller and larger size options.
Right now, our product team is actively working on expanding and improving size optionality (rather than just the ‘larger’ ‘smaller’ selections) to more widgets - This will include the Invoices Owed to You, Bills to Pay, Chart of Account, Cash in and Out and Recent Invoice payments widgets. The approach we’re taking will give you additional size selections for these widgets, and more customisation of what’s shown within the widgets.
Understanding from feedback, that our customers are looking for even more flexibility beyond these size options, our team is continuing to explore further enhancements that'll be…

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 'Edit homepage' 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. 🙂

The longer I am forced to use the inferior new layout the more one of my biggest frustrations is the new location of the drafts. I am CONSTANTLY missing drafts without the visual cue with it hiding out of sight. This then adds time to my reconciliation process as none of my transactions match because all of my bills/invoices are hiding a few scrolls down in the drafts. Please fix this as it adds so much time and confusion to my day.
