They can be customized at any time, and if you want to remove any link, then you can do it easily by clicking on that link. On the bottom of the tab page, you’ll see the news that is provided by Microsoft, and you can customize it too.

Inspiration – Inspiration layout is much like the focused layout. However, you will see a color image of the day instead of black or white color. The search bar is minor and quick links are also offered from most of your visited websites.

Informational – You’ll find that the informational layout provides a search box, the smallest one and links are written below it as well. You will have so much space in this particular layout and in those spaces, you will find Microsoft news.
