When trying to edit the Featured links on the default SharePoint home page, you may end up getting the following error. And guess what? Trying again later didn’t really work…
But don’t worry, this is SharePoint and a lot of things are stored in lists. A hidden list, in this case.
To access the hidden list and easily update the featured links, just navigate to the following Url
https://XXXXXXXXX.sharepoint.com/Lists/SharePointHomeOrgLinks/AllItems.aspx
But your changes probably won’t be immediately reflected on the home page as the links are cached. To force them to refresh, open the dev tools on the browser and clear the site data. The following image shows where this option can be found on Chrome.
Sorry, no dev-related topic this time, but you may find it useful at some point.
