   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 provide more clarity on how it works - I'll update you here when these changes are made.

   We appreciate this process is different to how it worked with the Dashboard. We really value hearing your feedback about changes we make in Xero.

   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 in and Out and Recent Invoice payments widgets. This includes customisation of the data within these widgets to best suit your needs, such as removing the charts. We’ll provide a confirmation once these updates are live.

   There are also other enhancements that our teams are beginning to explore to further solve needs shared in feedback here, so we’ll continue to keep you updated.

   If you need help setting up or editing your homepage, please reach out to the Xero Support team. They can help you design a view that best supports your specific workflows. Thanks

   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.
