I setup a Kirby page according to the Guide on [getKirby.com](http://getKirby.com). All great so far and it makes a lot of fun. On all new created pages I can change the status of the page “draft”, “unlisted” and “published” in the panel, but not for the home page which is the root, there the button is disabled. Where can I change that?

You can change the `changeStatus` option to true in your `/site/blueprints/pages/home.yml`. However, I don’t think you should set the status of the home page to `draft`. This will probably throw an error.

Actually I want to set the home page (Startseite) to published. It bothers me that it appears as unlisted.

Set `changeStatus: true` in your home.yml, or prepend a number in the filesystem while letting the changeStatus setting untouched.
