The Home Menu is visible as soon as you log into your Squarespace site. It's a gray panel located to the left of your site preview.

The Home Menu provides access to all admin areas of your site, called panels. Everything you need to manage and build your site can be found here, including settings, domains, pages, the Style Editor, Commerce features, and more. Every panel has a name, like the Pages panel.

Find the Home Menu

The Home Menu is open when you log in and hidden when you're in full site preview. If you can't see the Home Menu:

1. Ensure you're logged into your site.
2. If the site displays fullscreen, hover over the top-left corner of your site and click the Expansion arrow.
3. If the side panel doesn't display the Home Menu, double-click the Back arrow at the top of any panel.

Edit your Home Menu

You can choose how the Home Menu displays:

1. From the Home Menu, click Settings.
2. Click Advanced.
3. Click Home Menu.
4. Choose either Website or Commerce.

If you choose Website, you'll see the classic Squarespace Home Menu.

If you choose Commerce, the Home Menu includes fast access to inventory and order fulfillment features at the top.

Cover Page plan (discontinued)

If you're on the Squarespace Cover Page plan, your Home Menu looks like this:

If you don't have an active website subscription, your domain may appear as a parking page. Parking pages have a unique Home Menu.
