   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

   For years we have used xero
   over the past nearly 2 years we have lost the ability to despatch directly from the warehouse using xero
   We have tolerated popups coming up where we are writing
   the currencys dont always match our presets, or change after being entered
   now we have to refine our own front page which was logical and clear on all our devices already.
   We have a choice of a word salad AI letter
   Who are these changes for?
   It is a distraction from actually running a small business

   I agree with the comments that the new front page layout is too bulky
   The old version was easy to navigate and not everything screaming for attention

   The end users are telling you that this is a bad idea.
