Good morning team,

I am not sure how, but I changed my startup page.

Anyone have know how i can redirect it?

I tried adding a page to the startup but did not work.

```python
def onPageStartup(page):
	system.perspective.navigate(Windows/Graphics/Overview)

```

This is what we should see on start up.

This is what is coming up.

At the very least you are missing quotes around that page path.

```python
system.perspective.navigate("Windows/Graphics/Overview")

```

I think maybe you can define it here:

The page with just "/" would be the first one to appear

I suspect there's a couple issues here.

The startup page is the view you've got set up on the '/' page url on the perspective page configuration window. You can just modify that to the view you want.

Alternatively, [this link](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-navigate) will show examples on how to use the navigate function, but at the very minimum the Windows/Graphics/Overview you've put in there will require quotations around that string. Is that the folder structure you have under your views folder?

I will try all of these. Funny thing it was working yesterday, but i was doing quite a few updates.

Now this is what I get everytime I open a designer window.

Ok, now this did work but the page is not zoomed out and you cannot zoom it in.

It comes up like this.

But should look like this.

I think this is correct.

Maybe something to do with default size or Breakpoints

If you don´t find a solution on this forum for the zoomed part I would redo the page using same elements
