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.

The new homepage is a crime against user experience.
It is less helpful. It is less useful. It is more frustrating to use.The layout is garbage - even the same Dashboard (e.g. Account Watchlist) looks much better in the Classic Dashboard without lines going off screen and custom sorting and ordering.
Every single person is telling Xero that the old dashboard is better. Are they still going to force switch everyone in April just because they don't want to make the developers feel bad?
Hey Xero - you can solve 99% of the complaints here in 1 day without going back to square 1. Do this:
1. When editing a dashboard, create a checkbox for "Narrow layout" - limit layout to 2 columns if selected (like you already do in your current 1000px breakpoint look.
This will make it look a lot more like the old dashboard and easier to use.
2. If the narrow column at the top is ticked, make the dashboard-template-beta-grid--wrapper max width 1020px like it was before - 900px you have at the moment is too narrow to display simple 4-column tables in one of the 2 visual columns (e.g. Chart of Accounts overflows horizontally)
3. Go through your card designs and compare old to new looks - be honest with yourself. The new bank account and Chart of Accounts cards look significantly worse and are less user-friendly than the old ones. Just change the layout to remove clutter and make them fit into the columns like they used to.
That's it. Save the "Narrow layout" flag and Bob's your Uncle. You can keep your new fancy layout if you want and users can go make it look exactly like the previous layout relatively easily.
