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.

Hi everyone, we appreciate and want to thank everyone for feedback on the responsiveness of the new Homepage. This has been shared back with our product teams as they continue to develop this experience.
At this stage, there are no plans to fix the number of columns when using the Homepage. However, our team will continue to monitor usage on this closely.
One recent change we’ve introduced is that the Homepage layout can be saved at each screen size.
For example, if you set up and save the Homepage layout for your laptop and then move to a larger monitor you’ll see this adapt. However, if you ‘edit’ the Homepage and save the layout separately from your monitor Xero will remember the layout for each screen size. You should only need to do this once for each screen you use.
We’re looking at enhancing the edit layout experience soon to…

Very strongly agree with pretty much everyone else that the new layout is far worse than the old one. Visual style is cluttered and far harder to interpret. Seems to take up a lot of screen real-estate for basic information. Looks like it's designed for mobile phone, I do not use Xero on a mobile phone. I really don't like the dynamic number of columns, three columns is too many and if the panels jump about means I never know where they are. I shouldn't have to be resizing my browser just to use Xero. And one thing I *really* hate are the smug icons that appear when there are no tasks. It is not for you to say whether I am able to relax in my chair or not. It grates every time I see them, at least add a clear option to turn them off.
