    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 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.

    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.
