When testing new features or functionality, it is often a good idea to use a demo company, rather than your real Xero company. Xero provides the option of setting up a demo company for exactly these situations. Some things to be aware of: They are free to set up and use (no charge from Xero or UpSheets) They come pre-loaded with data, so you can get started immediately If you make a mess, you can reset them and start again They expire after 30 days (keep this in mind if setting up anything complicated) You can use Xero Projects You can use Xero Payroll - but remember to complete the setup in Xero before connecting to UpSheets Xero's instructions to set up a Demo Company are below: Setting up the Xero Demo Company
