With the updates to the Yext platform UX, we are rolling out a new built-in home screen, as well as new home screen modules, to create a simple, digestible experience for any account configuration.
The goal of the built-in home screen is to serve as a useful and clear first impression of Yext, with insights into account performance, suggested next steps, and easy access to support and self-paced training.
New home screen modules include:
- Hero numbers: at-a-glance metrics on your total number of entities, searches, and reviews across your Yext account
- Suggested actions: tasks and next steps recommended based on the Yext products available in your account
- Need help?: a quick link to get support on the Help Center
- Hitchhikers: suggested self-paced learning resources and community events
The built-in home screen is read-only and can’t be edited directly, but users with Full Control or Account Manager permissions can create custom home screens to share with their account (and hide the built-in home screen if they choose). Under Configuration in the left sidebar, click Add Home Screen.
From there, rearrange and customize the content of your home screen modules. Click the trash can icon to remove a module, and the pencil icon to edit the content. To add a new module, use the Add Module section at the bottom of the page or in the top-right.
Turn on the Spring ’22: New Home Screen (Early Access) account feature to use the built-in home screen and new home screen modules during the Early Access period.
Built-in home screens and new home screen modules will be available to all users at General Availability for the Spring ‘22 release.
