## Title

{{% badge style="cyan" icon="gears" title=" " %}}Option{{% /badge %}} With the [default partials](configuration/branding/logo#change-the-logo) for the logo, The site title will also be used for the text at the top of the sidebar. If you want to show a different text in the sidebar, you can overwrite `linkTitle`.

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[params]
  linkTitle = 'Relearn'
{{< /multiconfig >}}

## Home Button Configuration

By default, the theme displays a home button between search form and navigation menu. The Home button serves as an alternative to clicking the logo.

![Default Home Button](home_button_defaults.png?width=18.75rem)

{{% badge style="cyan" icon="gears" title=" " %}}Option{{% /badge %}} To hide the Home button on the left menu, set `disableLandingPageButton=true`.

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[params]
  disableLandingPageButton = true
{{< /multiconfig >}}

{{% badge style="cyan" icon="gears" title=" " %}}Option{{% /badge %}} To change its icon or text, configure the `landingPageName` for your defined languages.

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[languages]
  [languages.en]
    [languages.en.params]
      landingPageName = '<i class="fa-fw fas fa-home"></i> Home'

  [languages.pir]
    [languages.pir.params]
      landingPageName = '<i class="fa-fw fas fa-home"></i> Arrr! Homme'
{{< /multiconfig >}}

If this option isn't set for a specific language, it will use these default values

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[params]
  landingPageName = '<i class="fa-fw fas fa-home"></i> Home'
{{< /multiconfig >}}

For a free configuration of the header menus, see [configuration of the sidebar menus](/configuration/sidebar/menus#defining-sidebar-menus).

## History

{{% badge style="cyan" icon="gears" title=" " %}}Option{{% /badge %}} Turn on `showVisitedLinks=true` to see checkmarks next to visited pages in the main menu. This also adds a history clearer button at the bottom of the menu to remove all checkmarks.

If you want to have more control, where the history clearer is positioned or you want to configure a different icon, see the [chapter on sidebar configuration](configuration/sidebar/menus#defining-sidebar-menus).

Note that checkmarks will disappear if you rebuild your site, as the page IDs may change.

{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[params]
  showVisitedLinks = true
{{< /multiconfig >}}

## Footer

To change the menu footer, edit the `layouts/partials/menu-footer.html` file. Check out the [Partials section](configuration/customization/partials) for more ways to customize your site.
