**TL;DR:** Configure Chrome homepage on macOS using Plist files and Applivery policies.

Configuring the homepage allows IT admins to control the content displayed when users launch the browser.

Use the following Plist to set a homepage URL for the Google Chrome browser. Copy the contents from below and import them into the relevant macOS Policy.

```html title="Chrome Homepage Plist"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>PayloadContent</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>HomepageLocation</key>
			<string>https://www.applivery.com</string>
			<key>NewTabPageLocation</key>
			<string>https://www.applivery.com/docs</string>
			<key>PayloadDisplayName</key>
			<string>Google Chrome</string>
			<key>PayloadIdentifier</key>
			<string>com.google.Chrome.F8C05D93-31F5-416E-AF46-2E54F2578F9A</string>
			<key>PayloadType</key>
			<string>com.google.Chrome</string>
			<key>PayloadUUID</key>
			<string>B98A135C-3F21-40E9-9D0C-CD9E4A5A46A6</string>
			<key>PayloadVersion</key>
			<integer>1</integer>
		</dict>
	</array>
</dict>
</plist>
```

Replace the home page URL with the URL that you would like to use in the above Payload. For example:

```xml
<key>HomepageLocation</key>
<string>https://www.applivery.com</string>
<key>NewTabPageLocation</key>
<string>https://www.applivery.com/docs</string>
```

Once in the [**Applivery Dashboard**](https://dashboard.applivery.io), go to any of your **Policies** 1 or [create a new one](https://docs.applivery.com/en/device-management/general-settings/create-device-policies/).

Click the **\+ Add configuration** button on the left-hand menu, then click the **\+ Import** 2 button.

You can either copy the Plist above or use the **Upload XML** button to upload a new one.
