By-passing the "Signed in Home Page"

Patrons sometimes complain that the FamilySearch home page is too messy. Or that it mostly shows memory items that they themselves added, and that they do not need to see every time they sign in.

An easy solution is to help them create a bookmark to their Tree view and use that instead of the bookmark to the home page. e.g. https://familysearch.org/tree/

To do this, they can browse to their preferred Tree view and then bookmark that page. They can also add a desktop shortcut to that page by dragging the Lock icon or the word Secure from the address bar to the computer desktop.

Now when they use the new bookmark or shortcut they will be asked to sign in, and then taken directly to their preferred page. They will not see the Signed in Home Page unless they click the green FamilySearch icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
