Lightning app customization for mobile users
Key Takeaway
You control what mobile users see with App Manager and the Lightning App Builder. A new page for an app reaches users only after you activate it and assign it to the app.
Lightning apps, and the Lightning pages inside them, can appear both in Lightning Experience on desktop and in the Salesforce mobile app. Admins use App Manager and the Lightning App Builder to control which pages and navigation items appear for mobile users and which components show only on phones. They also use these tools to control how the app is branded and which shortcuts sit on a launchpad.
Editing a Lightning app in App Manager
When you edit a Lightning app from App Manager in Setup, the app opens in the Lightning App Builder. There you manage the app's settings, branding, navigation, and assigned Lightning pages in one place. You do this work on the following tabs:
- On the App Settings tab, you can:
- Set the app-level branding.
- Add a utility bar for tools like Recent Items and Notes.
- Choose the default navigation bar items.
- Manage user profile assignments.
- The Navigation Items tab controls which objects and other items, like Visualforce pages or Lightning components, are included in the app.
- The Pages tab shows the active Lightning pages assigned to the app, and you can create or open pages there.
