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.

Awesome to hear you're getting a feel of the homepage, Charles. Thanks for taking your time to feedback on what changes would make the most impact for you.
I'll make sure to share your feedback with our product teams. For now we'll get a sense of interest from others in the beta here, and I'll keep you updated if any plans for a global setting are made.

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. 🙂

Creeping featurism.
As someone just starting to use Xero, I have to say, this kind of change was an *overwhelmingly* bad idea to roll out at the advent of US tax season. Whoever thought making a massive (and objectively inferior) change to the main interface when everyone is going to be rushing to meet deadlines and working on automatic pilot was a good idea should be sacked. Business 102 is "don't "fix" anything while stepping into in the midst of your highest caseload era."
Did you make sure your practice company and tutorials and articles were ready to teach new users/customers using this shiny new interface?
This new homepage is, as many of these comments I've read attest, a nightmare scene of white space and thin boxes. There's no clear division. It looks like it was designed by AI, and not by a person who actually has and uses their eyes. Get a way to at least add some unique background colors...some way to break up the information....something.
It's also a security nightmare. That is a LOT of sensitive data to have up on the home screen at all times by default, which several others have mentioned.
