Xero Tips
Here are some general tips to help you get around Xero quickly and easily.
| Quick Xero login | Speed up logging into Xero. Replace the capital letters below with your Xero login address, then save as a browser or desktop bookmark so you only have to enter a password. https://login.xero.com/?username=REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_USERNAME |
| View multiple pages | View multiple pages in your Xero organisation at the same time using tabs:
Don’t use tabs to view multiple Xero organisations. |
| View multiple organisations | If you need to view multiple Xero organisations at the same time, open each organisation in a different browser. For example, open one in Chrome and the other in Safari.
If you don’t use separate browsers, your changes might save to the wrong organisation. Using different browsers ensures each organisation has its own separate data session. |
