The Lightning App Builder is a point-and-click tool that makes it easy to create custom pages, giving your users what they need all in one place. The Lightning App Builder is also a one-stop shop for configuring Lightning apps. Use the Lightning Page Builder to add, remove, or reorder components on a record page to give users a customized view for each object’s records.

With the Lightning Page Builder, you can build:

- Single-page apps that drill down into standard pages
- Dashboard-style apps, such as apps to track top sales prospects or key leads for the quarter
- “Point” apps to solve a particular task, such as an expense app for users to enter expenses and monitor expenses they’ve submitted
- Custom record pages for your objects, tailored to the needs of your users
- Custom Home pages containing the components and features that your users use most

But that’s not all. When you edit a Lightning app from the App Manager in Setup, you’re brought into the Lightning App Builder to manage the app’s settings. You can update the app’s branding, navigation, app options, and manage the Lightning pages assigned to that app all inside the Lightning App Builder.

## Lightning Experience Record Pages

Is your custom record page ready for your users? Use the Activation function inside the Lightning App Builder to get the page out to them. You can make your custom record page the default record page for all users, assign it to specific Lightning apps, or assign it to record types and profiles. Assigning the page to a Lightning app, record type, or profile gives your users access to a record page customized for the context they’re working in.

1. Create a record page or open an existing one in the Lightning App Builder.
  If you opened a record page that is ready for your users and doesn’t need editing, click **Activation**.
2. If you created a page or opened a page that required adjustment, make the necessary changes, click **Save**, and then click **Activate**. You have a few options for activating a record page.
  
  - Make the page the org default for the object.
  - Make the page the default object record page for specific Lightning apps.
  - Assign the page to a combination of Lightning apps, record types, and profiles.
  - Assign the page to a form factor, such as a desktop or phone.
3. On the activation screen, click the tab for the option you’ve chosen, and follow the steps to activate the page.

> ℹ️ An activated Lightning record page takes precedence over the Lightning Experience Override setting for the View action on the object.
