Build a custom Home Tab in Lightning App Builder, then activate and assign it so the right users see it. This walkthrough creates one role page and targets it by app and profile.
- Create the page
In Setup, enter Home Pages in Quick Find and click New. Give the page a clear label, pick a template such as Standard Home Page, and click Done to open Lightning App Builder.
- Add and arrange components
Drag components from the left palette into the regions on the canvas. Add the few that answer the role's first questions, for example Today's Tasks, Top Deals, and Performance. Click each component to set its properties.
- Save and activate
Click Save, then click Activation. Choose org default, app default, or one or more app and profile combinations. Pick the most specific scope the page is meant for and confirm.
- Review assignments in Setup
Enter Home in Quick Find and open the Home assignments screen. Check that no broader rule overlaps the one you just set, and adjust precedence if two rules target the same users.
Makes the page the Home Tab for everyone, used unless a narrower app or profile rule applies.
Makes the page the Home Tab for one or more Lightning apps, so the page changes with the active app.
Assigns the page to specific app and profile combinations, the most precise option and the one that wins precedence.
- A saved page is not live until you activate it, so users keep seeing the default until you click Activation.
- More specific assignments win, so an App Default page loses to a profile-specific rule for users on that profile.
- Desktop Home content does not automatically appear on mobile, so confirm the mobile experience separately.
- Heavy components run on every load, so a crowded Home Tab feels slow at the exact moment users form an impression.
