After signing in on Showpad's Web app, Windows Desktop, or an Android/iOS device, you are welcomed by a Home Screen with important information and recommendations. Your admin may choose to create a Custom Homepage for you. A custom Home Screen contains:
- Curated content
- Experiences
- Pages
- Announcements,
- and more items selected by your admin
If a custom Homescreen is not in use, you will see the standard Home screen which features Spotlight messages sent by your admin that highlight announcements about updated content and recently published coaching materials.
Note: The Home Screen is currently available on Showpad's Android, iOS, Windows Desktop, and Web app. Other mobile apps will receive this feature later.

Spotlight messages
- Spotlight messages are sent by your administrator and greet you on the Home page of your iOS app. You can see up to 7 messages. Swipe right to see more messages. These messages can include external links as well as links to courses and content within Showpad.
- If users want to present content without the Spotlights and Assets sections, they can see Experiences only by clicking View All. The order of the Experiences can also be changed here.
Note: If there are no available Spotlight messages, users will see Experience and Assets instead. Users with iOS 12 and earlier versions will see the Experiences welcome screen.
Newest Assets
Underneath the Experiences section, you see tiles that show Newest, Most Viewed and Last Viewed Assets. They are organized by the most recent uploads with dates listed beneath each title. Below this area, you can navigate to the different areas of the app, such as My Content, Shares, Coaching, and Account settings.
Searching
Searching for content and training materials is also a great feature on the Home Screen. Click the magnifying glass in the upper right corner to get started finding what you need.
