# How to display the homepage in the Crisp chatbox

__This article explains how to enable the Home section in the Crisp chatbox widget.__

The Home section gives visitors a clearer starting point when they open the widget. It can group key actions such as starting a conversation, searching your knowledge base, checking updates, or viewing your status information.

# What the Home section is

The Home section is a dedicated entry screen inside the chatbox. Instead of sending visitors directly into a conversation, you can give them a small hub where they can choose what they need first.

__The Home section can help visitors:__

* ****Search for answers**** → find knowledge base content before contacting your team
* ****Start a conversation**** → reach your support team from the same widget
* ****Check updates**** → access important announcements or status information when configured

# When to use it

The Home section is useful when you want the chatbox to do more than open a new conversation. It gives visitors a self-service starting point while keeping support one click away.

If your main goal is to collect messages as quickly as possible, you can keep the chat entrypoint as ****Chat**** instead.
