How do I display items from document libraries, calendars and task lists on my SharePoint site homepage?

  • Go to your site homepage
  • Click on 'Page' at the top left of the page and the Page menu will appear across the top of the screen: 

  • Click 'Edit Page'.
  • The page editing screen will appear: 

  • Click on 'Add a Web Part' in the top centre of the screen.
  • The list of available web parts will be displayed: 

  • The default category is 'Apps' - this is where you can find web parts for your document libraries, calendars and task lists.
  • Choose the appropriate web part by clicking on its name.
  • Click the Add button on the right to add the web part to your page.
  • Continue to add all the web parts you need in your page.
  • When you have finished, click on the red 'Stop Editing' button on the top left.
