Note The system overview page shows only the items enabled for your org. For example, your system overview page shows workflow rules only if workflow is enabled for your org.

1. From Setup, enter System Overview in the Quick Find box, then select **System Overview**.
2. Click **Configure Messages**.
3. Select or deselect the types of system overview messages to show or hide on the Home page.
4. Click **OK**.

Important System overview messages only appear on the Salesforce Home page when your org approaches its limits.

When you enable or dismiss system overview messages, it only impacts your individual view of the messages.
