Add the Files Related List to Page Layouts

Customize page layouts to include the Files related list. With the Files related list, users can add files to a record and see a list of files associated with the record.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Contact Manager, and Developer Editions

Use files instead of attachments to make the files available outside of the context of the individual record. The file owner or admin still decides sharing settings for the file.

  1. From Setup, at the top of the page, select Object Manager and select the object you want to add the Files related list to (such as Opportunity).
  2. Click Page Layouts.
  3. Click the page layout you want to customize.
  4. In the list of available items in the left pane, click Related Lists.
  5. Drag Files to the Related Lists section and click Save.
Note
Note Users can't drag files to add them to a record when the related list type is Basic List. To change the related list type, edit the related list component in the Lightning App Builder.
