   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 a car crash. It looks lovely on the demo company, but on a company with lots of bank accounts it's hopeless.

   You can't fix anything in place so nothing is where you leave it. It takes far longer to work through the widgets, find each bank account and reconcile it rather than just working your way down the list. Please please put it back or at least offer a way to pin the position of widgets so we can put them in to a sensible order

   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.
