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 'Edit homepage' 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. 🙂

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…

Thanks for the continued support and feedback shared here, everyone. Totally appreciate wanting to save clicks and improve the efficiency of logging in to use Xero.
Our product team have reviewed this and it's something they'd like to take a closer look into longer term, however isn't roadmapped just yet.
As soon as there's any progress to update you of I will share with you all.

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.

Very Simply Either, Either the Old Dashboard remains a Option or You Lose a Customer.
You Need to Understand the KISS Principal
Keep It Simple STUPID.
Simple to Understand You Force Stupid Ideas to Someone that Doesn't Want It They Leave.
So long, Farewell Goodbye.
Was a Great Simple Workable Product. Now is a Poor excuse of a Product with Change for the Sake of Change.
No Longer Good Value for Money

Hi everyone, appreciate the tractions on this idea.
It's clear that having key tax and compliance dates visible on the dashboard would make it much easier to plan ahead and ensure due dates are met. When those deadlines live outside of Xero, it can mean extra admin and more mental load than necessary.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can capture interest and share with the product team how valuable this added visibility would be.

Hi everyone, thanks again for sharing input on widget placement on the homepage.
As mentioned in our last update, once you Edit Homepage and Save the layout this will be saved for that screen size. If you change screens a prompt is also surfaced to explain that you may want to reset and save your layout.
While we don’t have plans to allow vertical stacking at this stage, we're improving the edit experience. This will make it easier to see how changing a widget's position shifts other items on your screen. I’ll let you know as soon as this is released.

Xero is Used for Work, Having Popups, Animations, Glary Icons & Not Asked for Features Appear is So Annoying and Productivity Negative Not Mentioning Slower Loading Time. Keyboards Usage apparently has gone out of the Window, If you are Limited in Using A Mouse Navigating is a Absolute Nightmare. This is where the WEB Applications has fallen in a Huge Hole. With a Local Program All Commands are available via a Hot Key. Xero is NOT Keyboard Friendly. Even to Logging In, The MFA Field has to Be Clicked in to Actually Use. This Is Irritating at the Least. (MYOB Has the right Idea with Both Web & Local Program Versions Available).

Appreciate hearing your feedback on this here, Tania. I can assure you our teams did a lot of testing with all aspects of the homepage prior to it's rollout however we totally understand there are different views of what information would be most valuable, where. This is exactly the type of thing we're keen to hear and understand the appetite of through product ideas.
Just to confirm for everyone coming across this idea - While slightly changed in terms of placement it's possible to view Drafts for Invoices and Bills in their related Invoices owed to you, or Bills to pay widgets.
This is now found beneath the graph where you can click the 'x' drafts text to go straight to the list of draft invoices (or bills) - see image
We don't have any immediate plans for changing the placement of the Drafts link within the Invoices owed to…

Thank you to everyone that's joined and shared feedback on our new homepage experience, here. Continuing to review and take this on board our team are working on some updates to the Invoices owed to you and Bills to pay widgets.
The intention is to offer more flexibility in the size of these widgets with the ability to reduce and remove the graph from showing.
I'll come back to share more as this progresses.

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

Back to Basics Edition. Forget the Flashy Gigits/Widgits/Ads All that is Wanted/Needed is what the Product Used to be 6 Years Ago. Since then the Price has Increase 50% and Productivity has Plummeted. Combined with All the Page Changes No Hotkey Support (Not Keyboard Friendly at all.
Even When you Sign in You Have to Physically Click in the MFA Box to Continue the Login Process. A Simple Programming Edit that Xero Appears to be Unable to Do.
Going Forward IF Xero Insists on not giving Users the Option to Retain the Basic Home Page. I Can Say Xero will definitely be Losing Me as a Customer along with all the Recommendations That I have been Giving.
