Note
Note Beginning in April 2026, agent topics are now called subagents. There are no changes to functionality. During this transition, you may see a mix of the new and previous terms in our documentation.
  • Add a Subagent to Your Agent from the Asset Library
    Add a standard subagent to your agent to start from an example built to handle a common business use case. Or add a custom subagent that you built yourself. When you add a subagent to your agent from the asset library, a copy of the subagent is added to your agent.
  • Create a Custom Subagent
    You can create a custom subagent from the asset library or from within an agent in Agentforce Builder. When you create a subagent from the asset library, it’s available to add to multiple agents and versions. When you create a subagent from within an agent in Agentforce Builder, it’s available only to that agent.
  • Remove a Subagent from Your Agent
    Make sure that your agent continues to deliver helpful and relevant responses by removing subagents you no longer need.
  • Edit a Subagent in the Asset Library
    Edit a subagent directly in the Asset Library. The edits don't modify versions of the subagent already in use, as they're copies of the original subagent.
  • Delete a Subagent from the Asset Library
    Delete a custom subagent from the asset library when you no longer want it to be available to add to your agents. You can’t delete a standard subagent from the asset library.
