Create an Intranet Homepage

Prev Next

This article will show you how to create a homepage for your Intranet. An intranet homepage is similar to a page, but the permissions are different.

Important Note:

  • When you create new subpages, the permissions will inherit from the homepage. You do not have to change the permissions for the intranet subpages.

  • For information on how to add widgets to your pages, please visit our Widget section of the Help Center.
