# How to set the home for a site or section?

Your site’s structure uses **sections** and **variants**.

Here’s how they relate:

* A **section** is a top-level entry in your site structure.
* A section can point to a single space, or contain multiple **variants**.
* A **variant** always points to a space.

{% hint style="info" %}
If a section points to a single space, you won’t see variants for it.
{% endhint %}

GitBook also has two “home” concepts:

* **Site home** — the **section** visitors land on first.
* **Section home** — the **variant** visitors land on first within a section.

### Change the site home section

1. Open **Site settings**.
2. Select **Structure**.
3. Find the section you want visitors to land on first.
4. Click **Set as home**.

### Change a section’s home variant

Use this when a section has multiple variants.

1. Open **Site settings**.
2. Select **Structure**.
3. Open the section you want to update.
4. Find the variant you want visitors to land on first.
5. Click **Set as home**.
