# Can I control the Home Screen Layout and put apps into folders?

Yes, by configuring the Home Screen Layout feature within a [Profile](https://support.desalesmedia.org/ipad.html#q022). By default, each school has two profiles: one for Student iPads and one for Teacher iPads. The profile names each begin with the three or four character abbreviation of your school name. As an example, the profile names for Blessed Sacrament Catholic Academy are ***BSCA - Student Profile - Restrictions*** and ***BSCA - Teacher Profile - Restrictions***.

You could create a new profile for the Home Screen Layout configurations, but it would be easier to add the configurations to either the existing Student or Teacher profile. If you wanted to apply different Home Screen Layout configurations to certain iPads, you would create a [Smart Group](https://support.desalesmedia.org/ipad.html#q011) for those iPads and then create a new Profile and assign the Profile to that Smart Group.

1. Login to [Workspace ONE](https://cn420.awmdm.com/AirWatch/).
2. Click Devices (in the menu on the left), then click Profiles & Resources, and then click Profiles.
3. Find the profile you want to modify and click its name.
4. If you see a button in the lower right that says **Add Version**, then click that button.
5. Scroll down the list on the left side and click **Home Screen Layout** and then click **Configure**.
6. Add apps to the dock (the bottom row of apps on the Home Screen), add pages, and add folders as needed.
7. Click the **Save and Publish** button in the lower left, then click **Publish**.
