Use the Homepage deprecation help tool to find all of your homepages in one place and
convert them to dashboards, retire them, and restore retired homepages as
dashboards.

To access the Homepage deprecation dashboard, navigate to AllHomepage deprecation help toolOverview.  
Before you use the homepage deprecation help tool, perform these two steps. A user with the admin role must change the system property. A user with the admin role or a user with both the dashboard_admin and flow_designer roles can populate the homepage migration status table.

1. Disable the creation of new homepages: Set the system property com.glideapp.home.deprecate_homepages to true.  
   Important:  
   When set to true, this property disables the creation of new homepages and sets the default start page or landing page to Dashboards. Menu items and URLs that open homepages will continue to point to those homepages. Otherwise, homepages are unavailable and should be migrated using this tool.
2. [Populate the homepage migration status table](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_kR_rxOyf1X4lwJD1p9kww "The Homepage migration status table enables you to address homepage retirement and conversion. Run a scheduled workflow to populate the homepage migration status table with information about the homepages on your instance.").
{#hp-dep-help-tool-features__ol_imm_csr_ssb}  
The Homepage deprecation dashboard has four tabs:

Overview
:   The overview enables you to start the deprecation process and view the general status
    of the homepages on your instance.

Personal homepages
:   A list of all the homepages that are owned by individuals who are inactive or locked
    out of the instance. Personal homepages are different than Global
    homepages, which are accessible to all users.

Menus and Favorites
:   Lists of homepages that appear on configured menus and homepages that are marked as
    favorites by users. In the first case, you must reconfigure the menu item to point to
    the converted dashboard. In the second case, you must alert users to mark the new
    converted dashboard as a favorite.

Usage
: A list of all the homepages that have not been viewed in the last 30 days.

of new homepages and to populate the homepage migration status table.
