    I have a user who has added a new colum and webparts to the sharepoint homepage, he is the only one who can see the changes though. what should be done so everyone can see the changes? this is sharepoint 2007 hosted by MS through their online services

    Thanks in advance

    Is this user a site owner (Full Control) or has Designer rights?
    It's possible that they don't and that they went to the Welcome menu and clicked the link to edit their personal view of the page.

    Another thing to check is what type of page/site this is.  If it happens to be a publishing site/page, then changes made will not be visible to others until that page has been published and approved.

    You should check these two things first.  The publishing page and the permissions information from Mike.

    I moved your issue to SharePoint Online.

    Thanks for the info guys, after checking with the user they had edited their personal view, changed the webpart on the main page and all was good. Thanks for the quick responses!

    Adding on to what Cathy had to say above, if a site is checked-in but not published normal users will not be able to see the updated view...however apart from the person who modified the webpart, power users / farm admins will still be able to see the unpublished modified view
