    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.

    I’ve used Xero since the early days and have recommended it to many other business owners over the years. One of the reasons I became such a strong supporter was because the platform felt simple, practical, and easy to use.

    Now it feels like too much time and effort is being spent on redesigning dashboards and adding features that are unnecessary or more convoluted than what existed before. In my view, the current dashboard works perfectly well. It is familiar, efficient, and does not need to be replaced.

    What is most frustrating is not just the change itself, but the lack of choice. Rather than allowing customers to keep using the dashboard that already works for them, Xero appears to be deciding that everyone must move to the new version whether it improves their workflow or not. That does not feel customer-focused.

    Please stop fixing things that are not broken. Many of us chose Xero because it saved time, reduced friction, and made business admin easier. Constant changes to core areas like the dashboard do the opposite.

    To be honest, this direction is now making me question whether Xero is still the right tool for my business.
