SharePoint 2013 online customize personimmersive page

Question

I want to customize the SharePoint 2013 online(office 365) "About me" linked page (personimmersive.aspx) to a custom look and feel.

Even clicking on any SPUser name, for ex in a list item modified by is "John Smith" if we click on it goes to about me page.

This page resides under mysite but I cannot see this page is SharePoint 2013 designer to edit, but modifying SharePoint pages in designer is not always the best way. Can I just create a new page and redirect all Profile page request to that custom page? IF I create app parts and edit the page I cannot edit the top portion of the page.

Answer 1

redirecting may not be a feasible approach, specially on the online versions

you can try to take advantage of web parts and css to do what you can

The biggest change is that you can’t edit the entire top portion of the page. These used to be in a web part zone, and you could choose to add/remove the web parts. Now they are fixed, with no ability to move them around or change the parts.

We had removed the Activity Feed web part previously because we were using Yammer newsfeeds and group feeds embedded throughout the site, and this part always showed “No activities”. Now this is back again, with no way to remove it, short of editing the page in SharePoint Designer.

There are still web part zones on the bottom, but really the problem is no control over the display of most of the top of the page.

Answer 2

There is personImmersive.aspx in SharePoint Designer, you should be able to find it in All Files. Just make sure you connect to [your_domain]-my.sharepoint.com instead of [your_domain].sharepoint.com.

Answer 3

you can't customize the page completely.However you can add custom web part and custom css to change the look and feel to a great extent. @tiago duarte you can still remove the activity web part.This can be done using script editor webpart and hiding the complete block/div.
