Hi everyone, we know being able to have more control over widgets on your Homepage will improve our users experience and want to share a quick progress update on where things are at:
Currently the Cash In & Out and Chart of Accounts Watchlist widgets have toggle options for smaller and larger size options.
Right now, our product team is actively working on expanding and improving size optionality (rather than just the ‘larger’ ‘smaller’ selections) to more widgets - This will include the Invoices Owed to You, Bills to Pay, Chart of Account, Cash in and Out and Recent Invoice payments widgets. The approach we’re taking will give you additional size selections for these widgets, and more customisation of what’s shown within the widgets.
Understanding from feedback, that our customers are looking for even more flexibility beyond these size options, our team is continuing to explore further enhancements that'll be…

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…

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

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 '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. 🙂

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

PLEASE GIVE THE OPTION TO REMAIN ON THE OLD SCREEN LAYOUT
The new version is clunky, it's hard to look at and organise - really bad user interface, I hate it
