# Initial start screen

> Choose which page opens first when you launch Mage.

By default, when you enter a workspace, Mage takes you to the
**Pipelines page** (`/pipelines`). You can change which page opens
first by picking a different option in Workspace Preferences.

## Available start screens

| Option              | Route            |
| ------------------- | ---------------- |
| Pipelines (default) | `/pipelines`     |
| Monitoring          | `/overview`      |
| Runs                | `/pipeline-runs` |
| Triggers            | `/triggers`      |

## Steps to change your start screen

1. Open the `Settings` page (with the wrench icon) from the left
   vertical navigation panel and select **Workspace** → **Preferences**.
2. Scroll to the **Workspace** section.
3. In the **Initial start screen** dropdown, pick the page you want to
   land on when you next open the workspace.

The change takes effect the next time you open the workspace home
URL (`/`) — for example by clicking the Mage logo or refreshing.
You can change it back at any time.

<Info>
  This preference is saved in your **browser's local storage**, not in
  your project's `metadata.yaml` file. As a result:

  * It applies only to the browser where you set it. Other browsers,
    other devices, and other team members will keep their own
    preference (or the default Pipelines page).
  * Clearing your browser data resets it to the default.
  * Open tabs do not sync with each other until they are reloaded.

  Instance managers always land on the `/manage` page regardless of
  this setting.
