   Hi team, thanks for continuing to show your support and share feedback here.

   We understand your concerns around the amount of space used and the need to scroll to view all columns, particularly when entering and reviewing journals.

   We recently released a few enhancements to help with feedback we've received including;

   • Improving column sizing, spacing and typography meaning you can see more detail without as much need to scroll.
   • Added more space for the Description field and ability to scroll this field
   • Optimised widescreen displays
   • Increased the amount of time the "Journal posted" confirmation stays visible
   • Ability to open journals in separate tabs
   • Auto-removal of currency symbols when importing to reduce validation errors

   We’ve also started working on a more compact view, which we’re aiming to release soon. 🙂

   We appreciate the detailed feedback and examples you've shared here.

   I'll come back to share as soon as the compact view is rolled out.

   The new manual journals also don't let you manually add a date anymore. You have to refresh even a saved draft journal when you go back into it after adding a new COA code otherwise it won't display.
   The cash tick is now in a completely different place to the other tick box, have to re train the brain to look out for it. Fix this please, the new journal format is awful!
