# How To Configure Landing Page

## This guide will show how you can customise your landing page.

Click on Settings \> Form Settings \> Landing Page

![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hubfs/image-png-Nov-15-2022-01-00-38-5940-PM.png)

 The Configuration Mode section allows you to select how you accept applications.

- Only students can register - for Year 12
- Students & Parents can register - some schools use this for Year 12
- Students and parents must be imported by staff - Primary & Year 7 (sometimes used for In-Year applications if the school gets a list of students from the Local Authority)
- Only parents can register - In-Year applications
- New Application area hidden completely - the New Application block will not be visible on the landing page (schools select this when they are no longer accepting applications)

![](https://helpdesk.applicaa.com/hubfs/image-png-Nov-15-2022-01-09-02-6666-PM.png)

The Landing Page section has 3 sub-sections and you may customise them by clicking on the Edit button.

Note: Just beside this section, you see a preview of your landing page.
