Edit your home page

<Steps> 1. In your code editor, navigate in the Explorer file pane to `src/pages/index.astro` and click on it to open the file's contents in an editable tab.
The contents of your `index.astro` file should look like this:

```astro title="src/pages/index.astro"
---
---

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <meta name="generator" content={Astro.generator} >
    <title>Astro</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Astro</h1>
  </body>
</html>
```

2. Edit the content of your page <body>.

Type in the editor to change the heading text on your page and save the change.

```astro title="src/pages/index.astro" del={2} ins={3}
<body>
  <h1>Astro</h1>
  <h1>My Astro Site</h1>
</body>
```

3. Check the browser preview and you should see your page content updated to the new text. </Steps>
