# How to Change the default view for the web-archive?

To change the default view of your web archive, open the "**views-list.js**" file in your text editor. The file is found in the "ROOT FOLDER\REPLICAID\db" folder:

Next, locate the view that is currently set as the default view, and change its "is\_default" key to "false".

Finally, locate the view that you would like to set as the new default view, and change its "is\_default" key to "true".

After you save the changes the new view you selected will be opened automatically when the archive is launched in the browser.
