Before connecting your agent to Lightning Experience or the Salesforce mobile app, [give your users access to your agent](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.agent_manage_aea_access.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Control user access to specific Agentforce Employee agents with permission sets or profiles. In Agentforce Builder, use the Agent Access page. In the legacy Agentforce Builder, use the Agent Access tab."). You can adjust user access while your agent is active.

When you [activate an agent](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.copilot_setup_activate_deactivate.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Activate your agent to make it available to your customers or employees. When an agent is deployed to one or more channels, including the Agentforce panel, activating the agent makes it immediately available to your users."), it's available in the Agentforce panel in Lightning Experience and in the Salesforce mobile app for users who have access to it.

If a user has access to multiple agents, they can select which agent to interact with from the Agent Picker dropdown. Agents are sorted by creation date, with the oldest agent appearing first. Only the active version of each agent is displayed. Give each agent a clear, descriptive name so users can easily identify the appropriate agent for their task.
