Cant set modern page as home page !
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/plan-navigation-modern-experience
But you said : You could try to disable Managed Navigation (under Site Settings - Navigation) paulpascha
I cant find this option.
Finally my expert for sharepoint found the solution !
Its was here :
_layouts/15/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx
then "open the tool term" in the middle of the page
In taxonomy sharepoint term => deploy collection site then on the root site, second tab navigation
modify the URL by the new modern page !I have made some test :
create a new site collection => the default web page is in "page site" librairy
create a new page ( modern ) saved in the same librairy => right clic set as default home page
It works without any problem with managed navigation
in my actual collection site, the default web page is not in "page site" librairy but " page" librairy.
And its impossible to change it.- The navigaton settings are under "Site Settings --> Navigation" (_layouts/15/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx). You can only disable Managed Navigation by switching to structural navigation. In order to prevent the performance issues you've mentioned you can make sure the checkboxes for "show subsites" and "show pages" are unchecked. You shouldn't experience performance issues now even with Structural Navigation enabled since you configured SharePoint not to render anything by unchecking these boxes. At this point you can change your site's homepage but your navigation obviously changed (a lot). You should consider and plan for the use of hubsites with their associated navigation mechanism as described in the last article I refered to.
