Create Task List as an icon on Home Page

Thank you both very much. I've got an icon with a link to the Task List. I did it slightly differently in that I didn't place the Task List on a new page, simply set up a link to it, which then opens up the Task List. What are the implications of that, rather than placing it on a new page?

If I'm allowed a supplementary question . . .  if I'm editing a page and decide I don't want my changes, how do I cancel from this in SharePoint? (The equivalent of clicking "No" or "Cancel" in other apps)?

Thanks again.

Hi Steve,

If versioning and Checkout are not in place for a page, as you saw clicking Stop Editing saves the changes.

When the above is the case the only way to not save your edit is to navigate away from the page via a link or whatever without clicking Stop Editing.

Hi Jamie

Thank you again. One last thing if I may, then any other questions I have I'll start in a new thread.

To obtain the link I clicked the Task List and copied the url from the address bar. Is that the "professional" procedure? When I setup a link to other items I've gone to Site Assets, right-clicked the Task List and chosen "Get a Link" (this isn't available from Site Contents and the Task List isn't in the Site Assets list).

Thank you both very much. I'm pretty much expert with Excel & other MS Office apps, but (as you can no doubt tell) pretty basic at SharePoint.
