Hi everyone, thanks for your continued feedback and we appreciate you sharing your sentiment here. We’re continuing to evolve the Homepage experience to better meet more of our customers’ needs, and your input is a big part of shaping those improvements.
One of the strongest themes in the feedback has been widget sizing. We’ve now released resize options for the Tasks, Invoices owed to you, Bills to pay, and Net profit and loss widgets, in addition to the Chart of accounts watchlist and Cash in and out widgets.
For the small size Invoices owed to you and Bills to pay widgets, once you’ve saved your Homepage, you’ll also see an option to toggle the chart on or off if you’d prefer to focus just on the figures.
There’s more updates in the works, and I’ll keep sharing further updates with you here.

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.
