Step 6 - Changing the site home page
Once the official announcement from Buckingham Palace has been made, you will need to change the homepage of your gov.uk site to your new landing page.
To change your current homepage, do the following:
- Access iCM using the enterprise link eg. council.gov.uk/enterprise/icm
- Make your landing and supporting pages visible to the public by removing the secured status of the articles
- Navigate to Management > Definitions > Subsites > Your gov.uk site
- Under the Configuration tab, you will find the Articles section
- Replace the article that is currently in the Home Page settings with the landing page article

Once you save the subsite, you should be able to see the homepage now navigates to your landing page.
Once the mourning period is over, you can switch back to your original homepage and secure the articles again.
