SharePoint new experience pages are a great way to share ideas using images, documents, and web parts. You can create and publish pages quickly and easily, and they look great on any device. You can also make an existing page the homepage for your site, even if you are using a SharePoint classic site.

Notes: 

  • You must be the site owner to set a different page as a homepage.

  • The page you use as a homepage must be stored in the Pages (or Site Pages) library of your site. Otherwise, the Edit button and other features will not be available.

If you haven't already created a page, you can do so using the steps in Add a page to a site.

Once you have a published page that you want to use for your homepage:

  1. Navigate to the Site Pages library of your site by selecting Settings Gear shaped settings button then Site Contents.

    The Settings menu in SharePoint, with Site Contents highlighted

  2. On the Site contents page, select Site pages.

  3. From the Site pages library, find the page you want to make a homepage, and select the circular option button to the left of the page title. ​​​​​​​ screenshot of site pages

  4. Select the horizontal ellipses next to the page title, and then select Make homepage.

More information on switching from and to the classic experience can be found in Switch the default experience for lists or document libraries from new or classic.
