Being able to edit "Home" Button on Apps

There was an error rendering this rich post.

The current Home button can be confusing for clients as it implies it will take them to the central app page that connects the other pages. I wish we have the ability to change the icon and name of the Home button, such as "Exit App" with an exit icon.

While it seems like a minor issue, I can foresee the confusion of new users clicking in and out of the app because we are not able to edit the Home button. Even if we remove the Home Button from view, the user won't be able to exit the App itself, which creates another issue since, by default, the nav bar doesn't popup like it does for dashboards.

Totally agree, we are facing same challenges. Either we should be able to able to edit it or disable it.

@PoonamTrivedi , you are able to disabled it (remove from view from the Navigation Buttons):

I agree that customers should have the ability to configure it differently as needed and/or allow more flexibility for adding custom navigation buttons.

Disabling it works. However, I don't like how if you put the nav bar in Vertical orientation, we don't have a way to exit the app besides the "Home" Button. Is this an issue with anyone else?

I agree—disabling would be great if there was way to exit the app still. I'd go as far as the say the exit app button should be a separate icon in the top right and should not appear in the navigation bar.

The one good thing is that the exit app home button does not appear when embedding apps on external sites, so if I set my actual homepage to the home icon, there is no confusion from an external perspective.
