Highlights Panel versus Dynamic Highlights Panel
Key Takeaway
The Highlights Panel takes its fields from the object's compact layout and its actions from the page layout. The Dynamic Highlights Panel lets you choose both directly in Lightning App Builder.
The Highlights Panel and the Dynamic Highlights Panel are Lightning record page components that show a record's most important fields and actions at the top of the page. The two panels differ in where you configure those fields and actions. With the Dynamic Highlights Panel, you also choose visibility rules and formatting directly in Lightning App Builder.
