Lightning App Builder page types
Key Takeaway
Choose a Lightning page's type based on the use case before you build, because you can't change the type later.
The Lightning App Builder is a point-and-click tool for building custom Lightning pages for Lightning Experience and the Salesforce mobile app. Every Lightning page has a type, such as an app page, Home page, or record page. The type decides what the page is for, where it is supported, and how actions and assignments work on it.
What a Lightning page is made of
A Lightning page is a custom layout made of regions that hold components. The template you choose divides the page into those regions. The template also controls how the page displays on each device, so the page adapts to the device it is viewed on.
You can add three kinds of components to a Lightning page:
- Standard components, which Salesforce builds
- Custom components, which you or someone else created
- Third-party components from AgentExchange
