To configure a **default home for new users**, you define what appears the moment someone logs in for the first time — a welcome message and a set of apps that tell them where to start.

## Why the first login decides adoption

A new user's first minute determines whether they come back tomorrow.

- Landing on an empty screen with no instruction
- No indication of which app applies to their role
- Onboarding delivered verbally and then forgotten
- Questions that could have been answered by the screen itself

## What to put on the onboarding home

| Block               | What it does                                         |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Welcome message** | A greeting and initial instructions for the new user |
| **Start here**      | A selected set of apps guiding where to click first  |
| **Multiple blocks** | Grouped by team or by first-steps sequence           |
| **Cover image**     | A visual appearing on the new user's home            |

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Customize your own home in **Jestor** to see the available blocks.
2. Add a welcome message block with the greeting and instructions.
3. Add a start-here block and select which apps should appear.
4. Add more than one of each if you want groups — by team, or by sequence.
5. Open the onboarding settings to set this arrangement as the default for new users.

## Why choose Jestor for employee onboarding?

**Jestor** treats the home as onboarding for your own employees, not just as a landing page — which is why the configuration lives under onboarding rather than under general appearance.

Because multiple blocks are allowed, one home can guide several groups: an HR block, a marketing block, and a first-steps block, all on the same screen.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I write instructions on the home?

Yes, inside the welcome message block. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Can I have more than one group of apps?

Yes, multiple blocks can be added.

### Where is this configured?

Under the onboarding settings.
