Hi everyone, we appreciate and want to thank everyone for feedback on the responsiveness of the new Homepage. This has been shared back with our product teams as they continue to develop this experience.
At this stage, there are no plans to fix the number of columns when using the Homepage. However, our team will continue to monitor usage on this closely.
One recent change we’ve introduced is that the Homepage layout can be saved at each screen size.
For example, if you set up and save the Homepage layout for your laptop and then move to a larger monitor you’ll see this adapt. However, if you ‘edit’ the Homepage and save the layout separately from your monitor Xero will remember the layout for each screen size. You should only need to do this once for each screen you use.
We’re looking at enhancing the edit layout experience soon to…

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.

The new layout is too busy, too cluttered and as with most new Xero developments of late, forced upon users while removing cleaner, easier reporting and screen layouts.
For one Xero instance we have 11 "bank" accounts so this new layout is like a data headache and very painful to navigate. I also don't want the latent advertising for marketplace apps either at the bottom (thankfully you can hide this).
Whomever did the UX design for Xero is either adding a lot of white space, or a lot of data, rather than keeping things consistent and allowing for the fact most of us are using one screen. There should be smaller fonts, better relationships between headings, data, icons and buttons. From an accessibility point of view it is incredibly difficult to navigate.
Also, why are we being pushed with screen space eaten up with Analytics banners at the top of the dashboard that nobody wants? Again, this should be removed as it eats up screen space if you have already said you are not interested.
With this wave of disapproval, you must let users keep the old layout while these issues are addressed.
