**TL;DR:** Configure Safari homepage on macOS using a Plist file imported into Applivery's device management 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 Safari browser. Copy the contents from below and import them into the relevant macOS policy.

```html title="Safari 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>HomePage</key>
            <string>https://www.applivery.com</string>
            <key>NewTabBehavior</key>
            <integer>1</integer>
            <key>NewWindowBehavior</key>
            <integer>0</integer>
            <key>PayloadDisplayName</key>
            <string>Safari</string>
            <key>PayloadIdentifier</key>
            <string>com.apple.Safari.5CF32BFB-0236-4247-BA28-B020EBB3DBFF</string>
            <key>PayloadType</key>
            <string>com.apple.Safari</string>
            <key>PayloadUUID</key>
            <string>5CF32BFB-0236-4247-BA28-B020EBB3DBFF</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>HomePage</key>
<string>https://www.applivery.io</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.

Restart Safari to verify that the configuration has been applied correctly.  
Ensure that additional settings, such as `NewTabBehavior` and `NewWindowBehavior`, are also properly configured.
