    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.

    I just put the following helpdesk request through

    The new homepage is visually overwhelming for me and significantly increases cognitive load. I can currently switch back, but I don’t know how long that option will remain. Is it possible to keep the previous version without being forced onto the new layout?

    Maybe if more people request it we might get an option to keep it

    I would like to share feedback regarding the new homepage layout.

    While I appreciate that updates aim to improve functionality and modernise the interface, I experienced the new layout as visually overwhelming and cognitively heavier than the previous version.

    Some specific observations:

    Increased visual amplitude
    The larger card sizes, expanded whitespace, and increased typography scale make the dashboard feel more dominant and “loud” compared to the previous compact layout.

    Greater visual emphasis on charts
    The taller and more prominent graphs draw strong attention, even when I simply want to access operational data quickly. This shifts the tone from a bookkeeping workspace to a performance dashboard.

    Reduced spatial familiarity
    The previous layout allowed for stable spatial memory. I knew exactly where key information was located. The new arrangement requires relearning navigation patterns, which increases cognitive effort.

    Scanning effort
    The increased spacing between elements requires more eye travel and scanning distance, which can feel fatiguing during daily accounting tasks.

    Lack of compact mode
    It would be highly beneficial to offer:
    – A compact or reduced-density view
    – A “bookkeeper” or operational mode versus an executive dashboard mode
    – Greater control over card size and visual intensity

    For users who work in accounting daily, predictability and visual calm are important for efficiency. The new layout may work well for high-level overview, but for operational users it increases cognitive load.

    I would strongly encourage the option of a density toggle or minimal mode to improve accessibility for users who are sensitive to visual overstimulation.

    Opening it for the first time created a stress response in me.

    I got rid of most of it and tried to recreate the previous layout which is possible in a limited capacity.

    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.
