Custom Lovelace Dashboard

Need a little help, I’m still missing something here. HA 2026.2.2

I want to restore my original yaml generated dashboards to be the default view for everyone and every device.

Also - when making these changes, do I need to restart HA, or can I just click the three vertical dots in the upper right corner, and choose Reload Resources.

All my lovelace yaml dashboards are under a folder called lovelace under my config directory. There are about 10 dashboards and I used to be able to swich “pages” by clicking the title of the page which was listed horizontally across the top of the page. This was all done bt HA in the background. I had a file in my config directory called ui-lovelace.yaml that listed all the pages.

I had this:

lovelace:
  mode: yaml

I updated to this:

lovelace:
  resource_mode: yaml

My ui-lovelace.yaml looks like this:

title: Home
views:
  - !include lovelace/home.yaml
  - !include lovelace/automations.yaml
  - !include lovelace/switches.yaml
  - !include lovelace/frigate.yaml
  - !include lovelace/inputs.yaml
  - !include lovelace/alerts.yaml
  - !include lovelace/blusensor.yaml
  - !include lovelace/floorplan.yaml
  - !include lovelace/battery.yaml
  - !include lovelace/mobile_home.yaml
  - !include lovelace/cameras.yaml

Is this how they should be setup in the new format?

lovelace:
  resource_mode: yaml
  dashboards:
    my-home: 
      mode: yaml
      filename: ui-lovelace.yaml
      title: Home
      icon: mdi:home-outline
      show_in_sidebar: true

Update - this worked (I just had to restart HA).
