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? 🤔 Note: this is a migrated Magento 1 site. ![Screenshot 2022-10-03 at 16.24.02](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/3X/1/5/15732627c21dae9b03bb3e7e6348efdabb080f4a.jpeg) ---

Did you set the layout to the page you have edited in the Shooping Experience? ![afbeelding](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/3X/8/8/883adef25318bac85888b50b91625b75ea741d5a.png) How to: [Shopware 6 - Tutorials & FAQs - How to design my Homepage](https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-6-en/tutorials-and-faq/how-to-design-my-homepage) ---

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? ![Screenshot 2022-10-04 at 06.53.14](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/3X/d/3/d3cd0b57090e82b3ca9955c69815da135d4a1bb8.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2022-10-04 at 06.58.36](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/3X/2/b/2bd4955a2ea5a02e16fdf44de63301f861a67f27.jpeg) ---

No worries! I’m thankful that you tried. I will start over again and see if it was something else I missed. ---

I have the similar problem with the homepage on a local installation. I can change the layout, but changing the layout configuration has no effect. ---

Thanks @Max_Shop I’ll report back if/when I found out why. ---

@Gendai and @Max_Shop 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. 🤔 Not sure this will help you, @Max_Shop ![Screenshot 2022-10-05 at 14.38.21](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/3X/d/6/d676b6c54858b9fab74e9a3bbabfba625093ec27.jpeg) ---

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. @magnus thank you.
