Global publisher layouts
Key Takeaway
A global publisher layout controls the global actions users see outside of record pages, and it can include global actions only.
A global publisher layout is a special layout that is not tied to any object. App builders use it to give users quick ways to log calls, create records, or send email from anywhere. They can also give different profiles different sets of actions.
Where global publisher layouts control actions
Global publisher layouts decide which global actions appear in these places:
- In Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience, they control the actions on global pages like Home and on the Chatter page.
- In Lightning Experience, they also fill the Global Actions menu, which users open from the Salesforce header.
- In the Salesforce mobile app, they drive the action bar and action menu on the Feed and People pages.
