## Customizing the Home Screen Layout

Alternatively, you have the option to personalize your Device’s Home Screen Layout by accessing the **\+ Add configuration** again and selecting **Home Screen Layout** 3 for a more tailored arrangement of Web Clips and Apps.

**Rearrange and Edit Web Clip Properties**

If you want to create a customized arrangement, you can easily rearrange the positions of Apps, Web Clips, or Folders by clicking and dragging an element to your desired location. The remaining Apps will automatically align themselves after these adjustments. Once you’ve added the desired Web Clip, you’ll have the option to edit its properties within this section. If you require to configure additional Web Clips, you can easily generate new ones by selecting **create a new one**.

## Adding Web Clips to the White or Block List

Enabling a **White List** involves allowing only specific Apps or web clips while restricting access to all others. By creating a White List, you establish a predefined set of trusted and approved sources that users can access without restrictions.

Similarly, enabling a **Block List** prevents access to specific Apps or web clips while allowing all others, helping you restrict unwanted content without limiting overall device functionality.

To set up either list, follow the steps described in our documentation [here](https://docs.applivery.com/en/device-management/apple/app-management/block-allow-apps/).
