All student Clubs and Organizations receive a homepage linked from myHill and a Microsoft Team. If you are a student club leader and don't have a Team and homepage set up already, you can sign up for one and then schedule a training session. This article is meant for club leaders who need to edit the homepage for their club. To learn more about all of the steps you need to take to set up your homepage and Team, check out this article and other articles in our Microsoft Teams category.
Club and organization SharePoint homepages are made up of individual elements called "web parts." This guide details how to create and modify web parts to customize a club's homepage.
Note: All club and organization's homepages must be named "Home.aspx", and are by default. When saving your page, make sure that it remains named "Home.aspx" in order to continue to function properly.

Editing a web part page
Almost every feature in a Web Part Page can be edited by clicking on the “edit” button on the top right corner of the page.
The exceptions to this are the Event and News web parts, which can be added to directly from the page itself.
Saving your changes
When you're finished making your edits, note that you can Save your changes as a draft at the top-left, but you'll need to click the Republish button at the top-left in order to make your changes actually appear on the homepage.
Adding, removing, and changing web parts
Remove a web part
To remove a web part, while in editing mode, click on the web part itself and click the trash can icon in the panel that appears to its left.
Add a web part
Hover your mouse over the area between any two web parts, or on the edge of any one web part, and click the plus sign that appears. Then click the web part of your choice from the drop-down list that appears.
Edit an existing web part
Click on the web part in editing mode and then click on the pencil icon.
A panel with options to change or edit the web part will appear on the right side of the screen.
Some web parts, like the text box, can simply be edited by clicking into the box and typing, without having to click the pencil icon.
Options for specific web part types
People
The People web part can be used to show and give the contact information of important people in your club. To add a new person, simply type their name or email address into the blank spot it gives you.
You can also add a description of the person below the information that it auto fills. To remove a person from the people web part, click the X button on the top right corner of their box.
Events
The Events tab can only be changed and added to when not in edit mode. When you click “Add Event,” you are given the opportunity to give the new event a name, date, time, location, Zoom link, and description.
To remove an event, click on it to open its page, and then click “delete” in the top left area.
Forms
The Forms web part allows you to embed a Microsoft Form into your page. To add one, first open Microsoft Forms and create the form that you want to embed. Then click the share button, chose who you want to be able to respond, then click the copy button next to the link
Once you have a form copied, go into edit mode on your page, click on the form web part, and then click the pencil icon. On the right side that pops up, paste the link you copied into the box.
Make sure that the “collect responses” box is ticked.
