Domino creates a quick-start Project for every new user when they sign up. It holds example files that show how to use Domino features, along with a detailed README. You can replace that quick-start with Projects of your own, so new users land in content your organization wrote.

​
Default Projects for new users

Point Domino at one or more of your own Projects, and every new user owns a copy of each of them at signup, under their own username.
1

Create the Projects new users should start from

Give each one a name, a description, and a README that describes what is in it. Any user can own these Projects, but each one must be Private.
2

Record the owner and Project name paths

For example:
Domino reproduces the Project name for each new user, so with the paths above, every new user owns copies at new-username/getting-started-project and new-username/sample-app-project.
3

Set the override configuration record

When the Projects are ready, set com.cerebro.domino.frontend.overrideDefaultProject to the comma-separated list of paths you recorded:
On Domino Cloud, contact Domino Support to set this configuration record.
