My Home: Contextual "Update Your Homepage" Task

[Copons]

In the My Home checklist, one of the task prompts to "Update your homepage" with an "Edit site" CTA.

Copy and CTA should change depending on the theme.

For example:

• Is it a legacy theme? Send to Customizer.
• Is it a full-fledged FSE-enabled block theme providing a homepage template? Send to Site Editor, modifying the homepage template.
• Is it an FSE-enabled theme without templates? Send to Page Editor for the homepage.

Note: please take a look at this comment that provides pointers to external resources and conversations about this issue.

Is it a legacy theme? Send to Customizer.

I'm not sure about this. Currently, for legacy themes, the task send users to the page editor for the homepage, and the card uses a different copy:

IIRC, this task was added to change the homepage, not the site's design, so we should send users to the appropriate editor where they can update it.

So my suggestion is to apply these changes:

Legacy theme (e.g. Twenty Seventeen)

Item	Current	Proposed
Sidebar title	Update your homepage	N/A: same as currently
Card title	Update your homepage	N/A: same as currently
Description	We've created the basics, now it's time for you to update the images and text. Make a great first impression. Everything you do can be changed anytime.	N/A: same as currently
Action text	Edit homepage	N/A: same as currently
Action URL	/page/<site-slug>/<homepage-id>	N/A: same as currently

FSE theme (e.g. Twenty Twenty-Three) with a virtual homepage (front page = recent posts)

Item	Current	Proposed
Sidebar title	Update your homepage	N/A: same as currently
Card title	Update your site's design	Update your homepage
Description	We've created the basics, now it's time for you to update the images and text. Make a great first impression. Everything you do can be changed anytime.	N/A: same as currently
Action text	Edit site	Edit homepage
Action URL	/site-editor/<site-slug>	N/A: same as currently. The site editor opens by default the current homepage of the site.

FSE theme (e.g. Twenty Twenty-Three) without a virtual homepage (front page = static page)

Item	Current	Proposed
Sidebar title	Update your homepage	N/A: same as currently
Card title	Update your site's design	Update your homepage
Description	We've created the basics, now it's time for you to update the images and text. Make a great first impression. Everything you do can be changed anytime.	N/A: same as currently
Action text	Edit site	Edit homepage
Action URL	/site-editor/<site-slug>	/page/<site-slug>/<homepage-id>

Posted pekYwv-vo-p2 to get some feedback about what's the best approach here.

These are the next steps according to the feedback discussed in pekYwv-vo-p2:

• For legacy themes:
  • Keep the current “Update your homepage” wording.
  • Keep the current redirect to the page editor.
  • Keep the current behavior that hides the task if the homepage is set to show the latest posts.
  • Keep the current completion logic that requires the page content to be updated or the page_on_front option to be changed.
• For block themes:
  • Keep the current “Update your site’s design” wording.
  • Keep the current redirect to the site editor.
  • Change the behavior to show the task if the homepage is set to show the latest posts.
  • Change the completion logic to mark the task as completed upon clicking on the CTA button (similarly to how the “Edit site design” task from the Launchpad is completed upon loading the site editor).

For block themes: [...] Change the behavior to show the task if the homepage is set to show the latest posts.
