Redirect Space "Home Page" to the Dashboard
Asked by Cameron Power:

Is there any way to make the "Home Page" of a space the space's dashboard? We've set up a whole bunch of Navigation Cards, links and search bar on the Dashboard of the space and want this to be the "Home Page". i.e. when you click the button in the screenshot we want it to head to the Dashboard as we have done for the "Procurement Home" link just below.

Failing this, is there any way to hide the upper "home page" button?

Currently it looks like it will only allow you to setup the home page button to direct to existing pages within the space and not the Dashboard.

I don't think I understand the question. When you go to a space, the home page is the "dashboard" for it.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try to explain with a bit more detail - I might be getting my names wrong.

1. When we click the button circled in red in the screenshot below, it heads to the page you can see in my screenshot. From editing this appears to be called the "Category Home", which we've set up as the landing page for this space due to the more flashy design elements being available here such as navigation cards.

2. Once someone has clicked into the space using any of these navigation cards or links, they get to the actual pages/content. From this view, the page tree appears on the left and there's another link appearing (circled red in this screenshot) that when clicked **does not appear to be able to be made to redirect back to this "Welcome to Procurement" Category Home.** I can only select pages lower than that in the page tree. I've managed to make a custom button instead (highlighted in this screenshot) which **can link to the Category Home.** ![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/207602iFAF7E7419B17B673/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

3. When opening the Space Tools, I can edit the "home page" which seems to be the button (circled red above) but it won't seem to let me put in the "Category Home" as the home page. There doesn't seem to be a function to put in a custom URL or anything like that either only to select from pages within the space.

So my question is: is there a way for this home button to be redirected to the Category Home instead of having to be a page further down the tree in the space?![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/207604iEBD4CFFEF688A75E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

Sorry for the long post but hopefully the extra info/screenshots helps you understand my questions. Let me know if you need further clarification.

Thanks!

Cameron

body: Your screenshots do tell us a lot, but they also simplify the start of the answer even more.

You are using an app that customises the UI a lot - you'll need to look at how that is affecting your use of "Category" and "Home".

One very quick test would be to go to the space settings for the procurement space and turning off the "theme", going back to the system default.

Looks like it's set as the default theme for the Procurement space but we do have Refined for Confluence installed. Maybe the "Category Home" is a section specific to Refined for Confluence and isn't setup to necessarily link to the default-themed spaces?

Seems like it's considering it a separate space rather than within the same space and that's why it's not letting me link to the "Category Home" as the "Home" page.

I tried changing the default theme to Refined for Confluence but this also doesn't let me add in the Category Home page - seems to only detect anything lower in the page tree.

Any other suggestions?

body: It is indeed the Category functions in Refined. They're rather handy, but they're not limited to just spaces using a Refined theme, they're cross-space functions!

See <https://docs.refined.com/space/REFINEDCONFDC/3575382530/Categories> for configuring them

Thanks for this link \& your assistance so far. Will look through the documentation \& if I need further assistance can look at raising a support ticket with Refined directly
