The Home page can have a special behavior compared to the rest of the documents. On the Home page, the document options could surface site-wide views, including:

This may require designing a slightly different document options panel specifically for the Home page.

Another element that distinguishes the Home page is the navigation menu, which already makes it behave differently from other documents.

Because the Home page lacks strong semantic meaning, it is well-suited to act as an entry point for showcasing the site’s structure and improving overall understanding and discoverability.

Additionally, placing site-wide views on the Home page avoids the need to introduce another location for icons representing site-wide activity, comments, people, and documents—an approach that could otherwise create conflicts or increase confusion.

Users often struggle to understand recursiveness. Centralizing global views on the Home page—while keeping document-level views within individual documents—could simplify the mental model. For power users, this recursiveness can still be exposed when accessing pages from the Home document.
