   Hi community, we appreciate the challenges manually chasing approvals can cause in the flow of processing your transactions.

   We’re pleased to share that we’re now actively working on a customisable bill approvals workflow to tackle this front on. As part of the flow an approver will receive an email when their approval step becomes active, and within Xero you’ll be able to see what needs attention.

   This means the person responsible can go straight to the bill, review it and approve or reject it without searching through the wider bills list. 🙂

   We recognise this work is limited to bills at present and there are users that'd also like to see these similar notifications on other document types. This is something we’ll continue to consider how we might leverage these notification patterns for other areas of Xero but don’t have commitments for as yet.

   You can read more about the direction of this on The Long and Short of It and I’ll round back to share more as this feature is released.

   Hi everyone, I can see how having a watchlist for key customers or suppliers would be really useful. Whether it’s keeping an eye on a major account’s balance or making sure a supplier hasn’t overbilled you, having those names front and center would save a lot of manual searching.

   Right now, important accounts can sometimes slip through the cracks, since you have to remember to check on them individually. A dedicated watchlist would mean Xero could flag the status of these contacts the moment you log in, helping you stay on top of your business relationships.

   For now, you can use the Account Watchlist to track overall categories, and for individual contacts, you can bookmark their Activity page in your browser. This lets you jump directly to their transactions and balances with a single click, saving time navigating through multiple screens.

   I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so our product teams can see how valuable a contact-level watchlist would be. If this would help your workflow, please add your vote or share your thoughts—it really helps shape what we look at next!

   I'd like to be able to resize widgets. I'd also like to be able to track sales by customer, but don't see that as an option on the home page either
