Keep these constraints and recommendations in mind to get the most from the Home page and avoid surprises — especially when working with shared pages and permission-based widgets.
Limitations
- Visibility is permission-based. The Campaign Calendar shows only the Events and Emails you have access to. Items outside your permissions will not appear.
- Shared-page edits affect everyone. Changes to any page other than My homepage update for everyone who can see that page. Adding, moving, resizing or removing widgets on a shared page changes it for the whole audience.
- Shared-page layouts must be saved. On a shared page, moving and resizing widgets are not kept until you Save from the 3-dot menu → Edit current page. On My homepage, layout changes are kept automatically.
- Some widgets have been retired. The Weather and Notifications widgets can no longer be added. Older accounts that still have them keep them (grandfathered), but they are no longer supported.
- Deleting a shared page is account-wide. Deleting a shared page removes it for everyone who can see it, so confirm before deleting.
Best practice
- Use My homepage for personal workflow. Keep your private, day-to-day layout on My homepage so your changes never disrupt colleagues.
- Use shared pages for team dashboards. Build team-wide views — such as a shared Campaign Calendar or a set of Search Analytics tiles — on a created page, and use Permissions to control who can change it.
- Set a sensible default page. Use Set as default so the team lands on the most useful shared page at login.
- Save after rearranging a shared page. Save from Edit current page once you have arranged widgets, so the layout sticks for everyone.
- Clone proven layouts. Use Clone to spin up a new page from a layout that already works, rather than rebuilding from scratch.
- Keep Search Analytics focused. Name each widget and data point clearly, and pick distinct colours so charts stay readable as you add more data points.
