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.

Give people the option to either stay with the current version or switch to the new one if they prefer. If not, people will walk. I personally hate the new layout. I find it hard to navigate and see what I want, and if I am forced into that being the only choice, I will take my custom elsewhere.

Almost every comment here is against the new home page - listen to your users and do not force this horrible, poorly functioning layout and design upon us

Just leave the current homepage alone; there is nothing wrong with it, and I totally hate the new one. I have been unhappy with Xero and pricing for lite users being non existent this may be the final straw that makes me move to QuickBooks or similar.

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. 🙂

The point is, Kellie and xero it's not about needing to improve the homepage but about whether you should or not. Frankly, the new page is horrendous, hard to use, difficult to navigate, and the majority of us want to stay with the current version and object to that being removed from us. This forced change is not good customer service, and it is for me the final tipping point for a product that has become more and more expensive and does not cater for lite users like myself but slug us the same fee for features we don't need, want or use

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

Come on Xero, listen to your users - the option to keep the old homepage is a must
