Alessandro Perucchi Question concerning the default home app in Salesforce Lightning interface
Hello,
I am trying to switch to the lightning interface. And to be honnest this is a real nightmare, all the things that we have learned on the classic is not available easily in the new lightning experience.
From a user perspective, this is nice and wonderful, lots of color, quite a futurist look and feel, until someone wants to customize... and then Bang the nightmare begins, there are no user customization possible, everything is done via apps. and there is a need to do customization per profile. And the user cannot do any modifications... or at least not what I could see.
Right now I am trying for myself (Profile System Administrator) to simply change my home page, not the content of the page, but simply the app that provides me the upper layer of tabs. I have spent hours to look in google and the forum and the documentation... apparently I need:
1) search the profile to change
2) Change the default app for that profile
3) logout & login
4) the default app should be there.
In reality, my default app for my profile is stuck to the same default app that I want to remove... I am really desperate and frustrated, The things that should be simple, ergonomics and simple are overly complicated, especially if it doesn't work.
So please, could you help me? I just want to change
1) the default when I log in the web interface (no mobile, just the simple browser)
2) And also change the content that appears under the tabs... even if I have changed them, the end result is that nothing has changed.
Thank you in advance,
Alessandro

The first time default landing page is configured at the profile level. After that, the default is the last page you were on.
The actual Home Page is a Lightning Page type, so if you only have one then everyone will have the same. To have different home pages, create them then assign them by profile.
Moving to Lightning from classic after having learned in classic is not something that should be a leap but a process. I suggest you take the Trailhead modules for Lightning and Lighning migration first before planning your move.

To demonstrate this, try logging in as admin, create a new user, assign them the new default app, log out, then log in as the new user.

And what if I want to change the default App after the 1st login? Is this possible?
Please don't tell me this is not possible...
