### WCA - Home Screen becomes default for all users
The [Home Screen introduced in 4.3](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Release-Testing-Instructions-WooCommerce-4.3#new-woocommerce-home-screen) which has previously only been the default for new stores (existing stores had to opt-in), will now be the default for all stores.
New Stores
- [For testing on a new store see the previous instructions for 4.3](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Release-Testing-Instructions-WooCommerce-4.3#test-flow-1-fresh-install-of-woocommerce-43)
Existing Stores
- For sites that are upgrading to 4.6 from a prior version of WooCommerce, the home screen will be enabled by default. This test flow will verify the new home screen functions as expected.
1. To complete this step, you will need to have a site that is already setup running WooCommerce and doesn't have the Home Page enabled (which is the default for version 4.2 and earlier or in versions 4.3 to 4.5.2 you can disable the home screen from WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Features ( `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=advanced&section=features` ) and uncheck the box for "Home Screen", and click "Save Changes".
2. On your existing WooCommerce install, click on the WooCommerce menu item, note that it displays the **Analytics Dashboard**:

3. Using the [WooCommerce Beta Tester plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-beta-tester/), you can now easily update to the latest version of WooCommerce 4.6.0 beta
4. After the update has applied, click on the WooCommerce link in the wp-admin sidebar. The first link under the WooCommerce menu should say "Home":
