Again, honey, you are in luck, as I have detailed instructions for you here. This step is the most important one as only the Home Site allows you to manage navigation/links that will ultimately be accessible via the SharePoint App Bar Home Icon! This will require the use of PowerShell, but no sweat or swearing please, I have step-by-step instructions for you here, along with an overview of what a Home Site is all about.


In contrast, SharePoint App Bar is a seamless sidebar/overlay that allows you to access the same information without leaving the site!

However, the biggest “issue” with the SharePoint Start Page is the fact that to access it, users need to navigate from whatever site they are on at the moment. We had SharePoint Start Page for a while – it serves as the user’s personal navigation/landing page. You might have noticed that the information that SharePoint App Bar delivers is nearly identical to that of the SharePoint Start Page. SharePoint App Bar is a sidebar that appears by default on all SharePoint sites on the left-hand side, that allows users to seamlessly navigate to other sites, check on relevant news, and access recent files.
