Restore SharePoint.aspx homepage
How do we restore /_layouts/15/Sharepoint.aspx as the default home page after changing it to something else?
As far as I know, it is not possible to change the default homepage for the SharePoint tile. Just to be sure, from the Office 365 portal when you click the SharePoint tile, it brings you to a custom home page and now you want it changed back to /_layouts/15/Sharepoint.aspx ?
- Yes correct, we currently have another page set as Home. When we type domain.sharepoint.com we are taken to our custom home page.
I want users to be taken to Sharepoint.aspx instead. - Reinout is totally correct...you cannot change sharepoint.aspx as default home page for your SPO tenant
- We currently have another page set as Home. When we type domain.sharepoint.com we are taken to our custom home page.
I want users to be taken to Sharepoint.aspx instead.When users type in the domain directly (https://<domain>.sharepoint.com) they are taken to the homepage of the portal site, not SharePoint.aspx. This is the default behaviour of SharePoint Online.
Unfortunately, you cannot set the homepage to SharePoint.aspx using the GUI or CSOM/PnP. To achieve something similar, you'll have to turn on scripting, built a JavaScript redirect webpart in a different page and set that as the homepage.
To change the homepage of the portal site, head over to: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Change-the-home-page-on-a-SharePoint-classic-site-35A5022C-F84A-455D-985E-C691AB5DFA17
