1. From Setup, enter Lightning App in the Quick Find box, and select **Lightning App Builder**.
2. Click **Edit** next to the Lightning page that you want to use as an override.
3. In the Lightning App Builder, click **Activation**.
    
    You have a few options for activating a Lightning record page as an override.
    
    - Make the page the org default for the object.
        
        After you activate the Lightning page as the org default, the page is selected as the Lightning Experience override for the View action in the Override Properties panel.
    - Make the page the default object record page for specific Lightning apps.
        
        If you activate the Lightning record page for specific Lightning apps only, the page takes precedence over the Lightning Experience Override setting for the View action on the object in those apps.
    - Assign the page to a combination of Lightning apps, record types, and profiles.
4. To remove the Lightning page as an override, return to the Activation page in the Lightning App Builder, select the type of override you want to remove, and walk through the activation wizard.
