Headerless Home Pages - Create new Home.aspx?

Question

The default home page for a new site (Home.aspx) does not have a page header, which is preferred. If I create a new page, I am forced to have a header. Is there a way to create a new page without the header?

It is a long story, but a vendor migrated us to SharePoint Online two years ago and created new home pages and I cannot find the original Home.aspx pages on all our sites, so I may need to recreate them. If that is the case, is there a way to get SPO to generate a new home page?

Answer 1

You can remove the header of a page using the bellow PowerShell Command after creating a new page(header is also created when creating a new page).

$PageName = "PageName"  
$LoginUrl = "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName"  
  
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $LoginUrl -UseWebLogin  
Set-PnPClientSidePage -Identity $PageName -LayoutType Home  

Note: Replace the variable below with your own and you will have a page without the title header.

If you intend to remove from all the Site Pages header, please refer to the following PowerShell Command. However, I would recommend making some backup before you do it.

$LoginUrl = "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName"  
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $LoginUrl -UseWebLogin  
$pages = (Get-PnPListItem -List SitePages).FieldValues  
foreach($page in $pages){  
    Set-PnPClientSidePage -Identity $page.FileLeafRef -LayoutType Home  
}  

To get SPO to generate a new home page, you can create a new page firstly and set the new page as homepage.
Create a new page -> Go to Site contents -> click ellipsis next to the new page -> Make homepage:
