Setup is the Salesforce admin's one-stop shop for customizing, configuring, and supporting an org, and you can open it from any page through the gear menu. A few Setup pages come up again and again.

Core information
  • To open Setup, click the gear menu at the top of any Salesforce page and select Setup. Setup has three areas: Object Manager (where you view and customize standard and custom objects), the Setup menu (quick links to pages for everything from managing users to security settings), and the main window where the selected page opens.
More details and nuances
