Hey
A stupid question, but where do I edit the home page?
I have created a layout (Shopping Experience) and set the layout for the top level category (this is the entry point) to this layout.
Issue: If I go to Catalogues / Categories, select the top level category and then the Layout tab, it seems that I can edit the different sections of my layout. But none of the changes here are reflected on the front page.
Note: The category is set as a Page / List type
Working: To be able to edit anything, I need to go back to Shopping Experience and make the edits.
Maybe I have misunderstand, but should I not be able to edit the content through the categories menu?
Yes, I have set the layout through the category layout setting (see image).
Now, when I compare to another (local) dev site I’m working on, I notice that there is a small difference (see image):
On a site that is working, the name of the layout template is showing, but not on the „misbehaving“ site.
Not sure why it’s so - maybe it have to do with the migration from Magento 1?

I have found the course to my issue: I had set the layout to the homepage at two different (?) places.
First: I set it by selecting the top level category and the Layout tab.
Second: At some point I also set the it at top level category, the General tab. Under the section „Navigation“ there is a button „Configure home page“. And I assigned the same layout. (I think it was because I did not see any changes on the home page - but, of course, it was a cache issue).
Clearing this one (see image), solves the problem with editing the home page.
This raises the question: which one or what „home page“ do you configure here? What is the purpose with this button? Very confusing, and I can not find any documentation about this.
You can hide the Home link in the navigation or rename it. What the layout is for, I do not know. Yes, that must be empty. I knew that, still configuration will not work. It is really odd since on other installations it is not a problem at all.
