Home tab

Note: Currently, this feature is not available if you have, or have been invited to, a single-user storage hub.

The Home tab, similar to the Data Panel, is a central location where you can view and access your data. Many Autodesk products use a Home tab, giving you a consistent way of accessing your work.

To have the Home tab open by default whenever you start Fusion, go to Profile > Preferences > General and check the Start Home tab at startup box.
