Edit the Home Page
The Home Page is editable rich text. You can format text, add images and videos, embed external content, and structure your content with headings and lists — all directly in the page.
Unlike most elements in Visure, the Home Page does not use the check-in / check-out lock mechanic. Editing happens through a simple Edit button.
To edit the Home Page:
- Click the Home icon in the Elements Panel to navigate to the Home Page.
- Click the blue Edit button in the top-right corner of the page.
- The editor toolbar appears at the top, and the content becomes editable. Three buttons also appear: Cancel, Restore, and Save.
- Make your changes using the toolbar.
- When you're done:
- Save — commit your changes. Anyone who opens the project then sees the updated content.
- Cancel — exit edit mode and discard everything you've done in this session.
- Restore — bring back the original starter content the project shipped with, discarding all previous edits (not just this session's).
What you can add and format:
- Text formatting — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, font size and color, paragraph alignment.
- Headings — H1 through H6 for structuring content into scannable sections.
- Lists — bulleted and numbered, with nesting.
- Links — to other documents inside Visure, to external URLs, or
mailto:addresses. - Images — uploaded from your computer, pasted from the clipboard, or referenced by URL.
- Videos — embedded from YouTube, Vimeo, or other providers, or uploaded directly.
- Tables — with row and column controls, cell styling, and headers.
- Code blocks — for technical content or copy-paste-friendly snippets.
- Horizontal rules — for visual section breaks.
- Embedded external content — iframes from other web pages.
Editing the raw HTML:
If you need precise control beyond what the toolbar offers — custom layouts, specific inline styles, content pasted from another source that needs cleanup — you can switch to code view and edit the page's HTML directly. Look for the < > icon in the editor toolbar; clicking it swaps the visual editor for the raw HTML source. Click again to switch back.
Use code view with care: broken HTML can break the page layout. If you're not comfortable with HTML, stay in the visual editor — everything you can do with the toolbar gets serialized to HTML for you automatically.
Tips for a Home Page that actually helps your team:
- Lead with what new members need most. A new joiner reads the top first — put the project mission and the most important links there.
- Use headings so the page is scannable. A wall of text gets skipped.
- Link generously. The Home Page is the natural starting point for navigation; treat it as the project's table of contents.
- Embed key visuals — project diagrams, dashboards, status charts — rather than describing them.
- Keep it current. A stale Home Page (referring to a phase you're no longer in, links that no longer work) is worse than a sparse one. Schedule a quick review every few months.
