Page Layout in Salesforce

Page Layout in Salesforce allows us to customize the design and organization of detail and edit pages of records in Salesforce.

Page layouts can be used to control the appearance of fields, related lists, and custom links on standard and custom object’s detail and edit page. It also controls which standard and custom buttons will be visible on detail pages and related lists.

Fields can be set as visible, read-only, and required on page layouts.

Note: Page layouts should not be the sole means to restrict access to sensitive data a user should view or edit because it controls only a record’s edit page and detail page on other parts of the platform from where the records can be created or updated.

Moving forward to Mini Page Layouts and more.
