Override a Standard Action with a Lightning Component

You can override a standard action in both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience. While the destination is the same, the navigation paths are different.

You need at least one Lightning component in your org that implements the lightning:actionOverride interface. You can use a custom component of your own, or a component from a managed package.

Go to the object management settings for the object with the action you plan to override.
  1. Select Buttons, Links, and Actions.
  2. Select Edit for the action you want to override.
  3. For Override With, select Lightning Component Bundle.
  4. From the drop-down menu, select the name of the Lightning component to use as the action override.
  5. Select Save.

Note

Users won’t see changes to action overrides until they reload Lightning Experience or Salesforce1.
