Customize Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce Sites

Update basic site settings like your site URL, site name, members, login options, and general preferences in the Administration tile of Experience Workspaces.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

You can customize your site at any time, but if you plan to make major changes, we recommend deactivating the site first.

  1. Open Experience Workspaces.
  2. Click Administration, then select what you want to customize.
  3. To share the site with stakeholders while it's still in Preview, copy the URL displayed on the Administration | Administration page.

    By sharing your site in Preview, you can get useful feedback to incorporate before going live. Also, by having early members post, comment, and share records, your site appears active when members log in to the site for the first time.

    Note
    Note You must add users as members of the site before you can share the site URL.

After you finish customizing your site, activate the site to make it available to members. If you enable welcome emails when you activate, a welcome email is sent to all members. If users are new portal users, their welcome email includes their username and password.

Note
Note You can't publish or unpublish a site that uses a Saleforce Tabs + Visualforce template. To make the site inaccessible, deactivate it.
