How do I go back to the original Garmin Connect home screen? I just want to add the tiles I want to see as I always could. The new layout and choices are dogs*t

I don't think you can go back to the old layout. Just customize the tiles how you want.

BTW, I think the new layout is great. Good luck.

Latest changes to Garmin Connect Home Screen are beyond terrible. I just want to select my own tiles so I can see what I want to see. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

Home Settings

The Garmin Connect home screen is fully customizable, so you can put the stats and features that are most important to you in view.

You can show and hide entire sections or select the stats you want to show in the order you want to show them. Your home screen can include the following sections:

In Focus

Your In Focus stats will appear in large format cards at the top of the screen. You can choose which stats to show or hide, as well as reorder them. This section can accommodate up to 6 of your preferred stats.

Sleep Coach

If your sleep coach has guidance for you, you can turn this section on to view it right on the home screen.

At a Glance

Your At a Glance stats appear in smaller cards below the In Focus section. You can choose which stats to show or hide, as well as reorder them. You can choose a maximum of 20 stats for this section, eight of which will be shown on the home screen.

Adding Your Own Data

For stats where you can add data manually, such as hydration or weight, all you have to do is add those specific stats to the At a Glance section. Then you can enter data manually by pressing the + symbol on the card.

Events, Training Plans & Challenges

Once you switch these sections on, your scheduled events and training plans, as well as any challenges you join or create, will appear in them.

Yesterday & Last 7 Days

If you'd like to view historic reports of your In Focus and At a Glance data from yesterday and the last seven days, turn these sections on.

Other Home Screen Details

Any activities you record that day or upcoming workouts or events will appear automatically at the top of the home screen.

Reset Home

Your final option for customizing your home screen is to change your preset entirely between the “Be healthy”, “Stay active” and “Track my training” options. If you change your preset, any customizations that you have made to your home screen will be reset, and you’ll have to start over.

HTH

Thanks, how do I add previous golf rounds back in? I have made some progress but the previous layout was totally customisable, this make too many assumptions which are not reflective of my needs. I agree it looks nicer aesthetically, but teh usability and flexibility is vastly reduced.

On old Garmin connect I had all my goals that I created displayed.  It had all the graphics that were easy to read.   Is there a plan to include goals on the home page????  Garmin essentially removed the functionality I used....

You can still get to it - https://connect.garmin.com/modern/goals/active

But displaying stats, such as goals, gear, or courses on your home page is no longer there. There's always a possibility that they will be added back, possibly as an At-A-Glance stat. 

You can request/suggest it here - https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/

I also think the new layout is crap of the first order, putting it mildly.

I appreciate you can modify the screen but what was the original layout to use as a template

Interestingly, while I think the new interface is cleaner, I preferred the former... I thought it simpler to see what I wanted.

I agree, the new garmin connect app layout is terrible. I wish we could go back as well.

Sadly, this is not fully customizable. I cannot put my last golf rounds where I want to see them, and I can't just add and re-order tiles as I want them - as I could previously. This approach makes a decision as to what kind of usage I'm looking for and that doesn't work for everyone.

At a glance just gives last week's stats. I get this works for some but this is not as easy to use or as usable for me as it was previously.

just tried this again, I cannot just show my previous golf rounds in any form. The choices of what I show are highly limited. This s really irritating and is beyond rubbish. Just give me the option to choose entirely freely what I want to see. I don't have challenges, training plans or events. I just want to see what I want to see, which I could before this latest refresh.
