Multiple start page options help you determine where best to start your day in Next Experience. Configure the landing page so that you and your users start on a page tailored to your needs in ServiceNow.

There are several options for the page that opens when you launch ServiceNow®
or select the logo at the top of the screen.

## Start page options {#next-experience-start-options__section_awc_24q_gwb}

Any page can have redirect rules as the page is loading to take the user to a different page.

Next Experience default landing page
:   The default landing page provides information to help orient you to your tasks. Variants of this page are available, depending on your setup. For more information, see [Exploring your Next Experience default landing page](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/siJO06MhaaUylUA15yVLFw "Access the Next Experience default landing page to see your work at a glance and identify where you can start.").

Configurable workspace home
:   Any page within a configurable workspace can be the start page. For more information about
    configurable workspace options, see [Configuring Configurable Workspace](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1NzZBAHE1V_J8qXDxT19Ng "Configure a Configurable Workspace using UI Builder.").

User-selected landing page
:   You can select any page on the platform to be your start, based on a user preference. A user-selected landing page can be any page inside a configurable workspace as well. For more information, see [Configure a user-selected start page](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/6dqE~NEoiVuQLW3PhQ0CUg "Configure a user-selected start page to override the administrator‑configured default landing page to appear when you log in to ServiceNow.").

Admin-selected landing page
:   This option can be any page inside a workspace, but also a classic dashboard. The admin can
    include role-based logic to direct users to configurable workspaces. For more information,
    see

    * [Configure a Core UI global landing page in Next Experience enabled instances](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/NL~_30ndMqNCJeWrWZaz2g "Set a Core UI landing page for all users so users on instances with Next Experience enabled see the same landing page as users on upgraded instances. Upgraded users see the landing pages they had before in the Next Experience UI.")
    * [Configure per-user landing pages in Next Experience](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MK1oTp9_0FaP05Plt8SgCA "Users on new Next Experience instances see the Next Experience landing page. Users on upgraded instances see the landing pages that they had before, in the Next Experience UI. You can also configure user-specific landing pages.")
    {#next-experience-start-options__ul_izb_34z_gwb}

Responsive dashboards
:   You can start with a responsive dashboard created in the classic environment to use an
    existing dashboard that isn't available in a configurable workspace. For more information, see
    [Set responsive dashboards as your home](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_SetDashboardsAsHome&version=australia&pubname=australia-now-intelligence&ft:locale=en-US).

Homepages
:   Homepages are a deprecated feature. Homepages from earlier releases are read-only from the
    Tokyo release. For information on converting homepages to Responsive
    dashboards, see [Homepage deprecation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=homepage-deprecation-help-tool&version=australia&pubname=australia-now-intelligence&ft:locale=en-US).

## How to choose a start page {#next-experience-start-options__section_jrv_bsq_gwb}

The different options for start pages serve different purposes. For example, choose a responsive dashboard for your start page if most of your data is in the classic environment, rather than in configurable workspaces.

## Upgrade considerations {#next-experience-start-options__section_kty_mrq_gwb}

When you upgrade to an instance with Next Experience enabled, it's best to convert homepages to responsive dashboards, so that you don't lose editing capabilities. In instances using Next Experience, legacy Homepages are turned off by default. For more information, see [Homepage deprecation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=homepage-deprecation-help-tool&version=australia&pubname=australia-now-intelligence&ft:locale=en-US).
