A start page appears when people in your organization log in to their Google Workspace accounts. This page provides immediate access to services and other content, such as interactive gadgets and updated content.

The start page template allows administrators to limit access to some content on users' start pages. This is especially appropriate for organizations such as K–12 schools.

Note: The start page in classic Google Sites doesn't add a link at the top of users' Gmail or other Google services pages. Currently, a Gmail gadget isn't available for the start page in classic Google Sites.

How the start page works
On the start page, you can add content, including text, images, and gadgets, in a locked area users can't modify. You can also choose a theme and other design elements for the page. At any time, you can update the locked area and page design. All users' start pages will reflect the changes.

Below the locked area on the start page, users can add gadgets of their choice from the public directory to personalize the page. By whitelisting or blacklisting them, you can specify which of these gadgets users can add to their start page.

For even more control over start page content, you can also create private gadgets that are only visible to users in your organization's domain.

For details, see Add gadgets, scripts & more to Classic Sites.

Before you begin
Start pages are available with Google Workspace and Google Workspace for Education only. Before you begin creating your start page, ensure that your organization's Google Workspace account has Google Sites enabled.

People who will use the start page must be in an organizational unit for which Google Sites is turned on. Read more about organizational units.

Create a user start page
If you have users in different domains, users in non-primary domains need to sign in using their full email address, as described in step 5 below.
