Open and close a file<\/h3>\n<p>Even after turning Auto-show off, the Home Screen will continue to appear until you open and close a document. <\/p>\n<p> So to commit the change:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"f1\">\n<li>Create a new Photoshop document or open an existing file.<\/li>\n<li>Close the document.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2024\/hide-home-screen\/close-document.jpg\" alt=\"Closing a Photoshop document to commit the Home Scren change\" width=\"809\" height=\"542\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Open and close a Photoshop document to commit the change.<\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s it!
