# Change the default Coveo-powered search page (Deprecated)
> **Deprecated**
>
> This feature is still available, but no longer supported as of the August 2023 release of Coveo for Salesforce version [5.2](https://docs.coveo.com/en/n5bj0150#august-2023-release-v5-2-initial-release).

When implementing Coveo for Salesforce in your Salesforce integration, you may want to replace the default Coveo-powered search page with your own customized version.
To do so, follow this procedure.

## Requirements

* You have installed the Coveo for Salesforce package in your Salesforce integration (see [Install the Coveo for Salesforce application](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1102/)).

* You have administrator rights in the Salesforce integration.

* You have already created a custom Coveo-powered search page (see [Create a custom Visualforce search page](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1323/)).

## Assign your custom search page to a new tab

To make your customized search page the default one, you first have to assign the custom Visualforce page you've created before to a tab.

. In Salesforce, under **Setup**, search for and select **Tabs**.

. On the Salesforce **Custom Tabs** page, in the **Visualforce Tabs** section, click **New**.

. On the **New Visualforce Tab** page that opens, under *Step 1.
Enter the Details*, enter the following information:

 .. **Visualforce page**: Select the custom Visualforce page you created.

 .. **Tab Label**: Enter a label for your tab.
This is the name used visually on your Salesforce tabs.

 .. **Tab Name**: Give your tab a name.
This is the name used by the Salesforce API.

 .. **Tab Style**: Choose an icon for your tab.

 .. **Description**: To quickly recognize the purpose of your tab, enter a short description.

. Click **Next**.

. In *Step 2.
Add to Profiles**, select the profiles who should have access to your Visualforce page, and click *Next**.

. In *Step 3.
Add to Custom Apps*, select the apps in which you want your tab to be present.

. Click **Save**.

## Make your custom search page the default tab

Now that you've assigned your Visualforce page to a tab, make it the default landing tab when opening an app.

. In Salesforce, under **Setup**, select **Build** > **Create** > **Apps**.

. Next to the app you want to change, select **Edit**.

. Under **Custom App Edit** > **Default Landing Tab**, select your new tab.

> **Note**
>
> If you can't find your custom tab in the scrolling menu, you might not have added it to your app.
> Select it under **Choose the Tabs** > **Available Tabs**, and click **Add**.

. Consider removing the default Coveo-powered search page.

 .. Under **Choose the Tabs** > **Selected Tabs**, select the **Coveo Search** tab.

 .. Click **Remove**.

. Repeat these steps for any app for which you want your custom Visualforce page to be the default tab.

## Changing the default Insight Panel

Similarly, you may want to change the default search page for your Insight Panels to implement your customized one.

### If you have an Insight Panel

If you've implemented an Insight Panel, perform the following steps:

> **Important**

> This tutorial assumes your Insight Panel is implemented in your case view.
> However, the steps are easily adaptable for other types of Insight Panels.

. From the Force.com App Menu, select the console in which you want to customize the Insight Panel.

. Select a **Case** item, and select the Edit Layout icon.

. In the **Case Layout** editing box at the top of the page, on the right of the **Case Layout** bar, click the **Custom Console Components** link.

. In the section of your Insight Panel, under **Component**, replace `Insight Panel for Cases` with your Visualforce page.

> **Note**
>
> Click the magnifying glass icon to select your Visualforce page.

. At the top of the page, click **Save**.

. On the **Case Layout** editing page, click **Save**.

### If you don't have an Insight Panel

If you haven't implemented an Insight Panel, follow the steps to [integrate a Coveo Insight Panel Classic Component](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1087/).

> **Important**
>
> When prompted to select `PanelForCases`, select your Visualforce page instead.
