Hi. I need to make a modification to the Kibana 5.4 home page. I need to add text to the top of the page, similar to a banner. Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Can we know what are you considering as a homepage? You could also create your own page with a plugin and set `server.defaultRouter` to the route created in the plugin.

Thanks

I found a solution. I hope this helps someone trying to do the same.

I modified /kabana-dir/src/ui/public/kbn\_top\_nav/kbn\_top\_nav.html by adding a div before the top row (at line 6)

I then deleted the /kibana-dir/optimize folder and restarted Kibana. I then saw the custom message.

@rashimi Thanks for your reply.
