Let's say that you give your users the ability to modify home pages by selecting either the Allow end users to edit layout only or Allow end users to edit layout and content check-box when you create it. When you do NOT click the following synchronize hyperlinks:

•Any changes the user makes to the page settings take precedence over solution developer changes.

•If you, as a solution developer, add portal panes to a home page, the user will see that particular instance of that portal pane. Even if a user clicks the Add Content link from the Personalize menu to add a portal pane to a home page, and the solution developer adds the same portal pane to the same home page. As a result, the user sees both of those portal panes on their home page. The user can delete the duplicated portal pane, if desired.

•Modifications to home pages do not take effect immediately. Whether adding, deleting or modifying a home page, users must log off, and then log back on to see the changes.

You may modify home pages according to the following table:
