Customize Your Theme with Image Cropping and Color Overrides
Get just the right look for your theme without wasting time with photo editing software. Use the cropping and resizing tool to select the part of the image you want to use. After you upload a picture, drag it around to crop. Or adjust the zoom on the picture to resize the final look. While you’re at it, you can also change the brand color.
Streamline Your List Views with Detailed Filters
You no longer have to switch to Salesforce Classic to use detailed list view filter criteria. Find important data in your list views with more detailed filters in Lightning Experience, and supercharge your workflow.
Make Inline Edits While Using Filter Logic
Inline editing and filtering logic come together to make your list views more powerful. No setup needed! In Lightning Experience, you can start making inline edits to your list views that use filter logic right away. A few exceptions: Inline editing doesn’t work for multi-record type list views or when the field isn’t editable. Salesforce Classic doesn’t support inline editing with filter logic.
See Field Dependencies While Editing a Record Details Page
It’s now easy to view and update all dependent and controlling fields when editing a picklist or checkbox on a Record Details page.
Organize Records with Topics
Topics provide a way to organize records by theme. Now you can use topics on records in Lightning Experience by adding the Topics component to record pages. Topics are automatically enabled for all available standard objects. If you used topics on records in Salesforce Classic, after you add the Topics component, your users see previously added topics on the same records in Lightning Experience.
