Important: We do not recommend that you use widgets and
widgetized Overview pages (including the Home page) in your community. For more information, see Understanding pages in places.
Note: This topic describes the options for what desktop users see when they log in to
your community. To set up a landing page experience for users who are viewing the community on
a mobile browser, see Creating mobile Home page.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable the main navigation create menu | Enabling this setting allows users to create a variety of content, such as discussions and documents, in the community. This option is helpful for communities focused on content creation and sharing, for example, a community focused on employees getting work done together. For more information, see Enabling or disabling Create menu. |
| Enable the widgetized community home page | Enabling this setting allows you to configure the Home page with a number of
useful widgets, such as the Image Navigation widget that links users to your most
common places or content, the Newest Members widget to encourage adoption and
participation, and a Featured Content widget that connects to your community's
important content. Note: If you do not enable a community Home page, your users will
see the News page (/news) when they log in.
