The site’s Home page is typically the first page users see when they log in or when they click on your organization’s logo in the top-left corner or the Home link in the navigation breadcrumb, although in some configurations users may instead be redirected to the Dashboard or another page. Administrators can control which elements appear on this front page either through the theme or via the Site Home Settings. For simplicity and ease of maintenance, we recommend using the Site Home Settings for most configurations and reserving theme-level changes for more advanced customizations, as they may require a basic understanding of HTML and, in some cases, CSS.
Step-by-step Guide
To modify the elements displayed on the site’s home:
-
Go to Site Administration > Site home > Site home settings
-
In the section labeled “Site home items when logged in,” select and arrange the elements you want to display, in the order they should appear.
-
Click on “Save changes”
Important Notes
-
A similar setting labeled “Site home” controls what is displayed before users log in. Since Workplace sites typically require authentication, this setting is usually not applicable.
-
The “Site home settings” also allow you to update other information, such as the site name and the site summary.
-
The home page can also be customized through the theme, and any elements added there will appear above those defined in the site home settings. For ease of use and ongoing maintenance, we recommend relying on the site home settings for most changes and using theme-level customization only for more advanced needs, as it may require some knowledge of HTML and, in some cases, CSS.
