\\Home is the default value assigned to the Navigation Start Node property, which is the top navigation item or node shown by the ViewApp editor in an hierarchical navigation model. Based on default values assigned to other properties, the ContentPresenterApp shows all graphics assigned to a ViewApp because \\Home is the top most node in the hierarchy of a navigation model.
Navigation Start Node is a dynamic, scriptable property. If Follow Current Content is not selected (disabled), Navigation Start Node must be set, either by data binding or through scripting.

The value assigned to the Navigation Start Node property restricts the display of graphics starting from a specific node in the hierarchy of the navigation model rather than \\Home.
The Navigation Search Mode (legacy) property must be set to FixedLocation to enable the Navigation Start Node property. The graphics belonging to the starting node and the hierarchical child nodes of the starting node can be shown based on the value assigned to the Search Levels property.
