# Create Feed-Based Page Layouts in Salesforce Classic

Make it easier for your users to work with account, contact, lead, opportunity, custom, and external object records by creating feed-based layouts. These layouts include two separate views: one for the record’s feed and one for its details.

### Required Editions

Before you begin, ensure that feed tracking is enabled for the object on which you want to create a feed-based layout. To enable feed tracking, from Setup, enter Feed Tracking in the Quick Find box, then select **Feed Tracking**.

1. [Create a new page layout](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.customize_layoutcreate.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "With the enhanced page layout editor, you can tailor record page layouts to the needs of your users.") and select Feed-Based Layout.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note Only new page layouts can be feed-based; you can’t change an existing standard layout to a feed-based layout.
2. Click **Edit** next to your layout and [use the enhanced page layout editor to configure it](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.customize_layoutcustomize_pd.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The enhanced page layout editor is a tool for customizing your page layouts in Salesforce, the Self-Service Portal, and the Salesforce Customer Portal. The enhanced page layout editor has all the functionality of the original page layout editor, but has more features and an easier-to-use interface.").
    
    You can’t configure feed-based layouts with the original page layout editor.
3. On the main page layout editor page, [customize the publisher](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.adding_actions_using_ple.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Use the page layout editor to customize which actions show up in Salesforce and in the Salesforce mobile app.") to include the actions you want to make available to users, and add any custom buttons or links.
4. Click **Feed View** in the page layout editor header to customize what appears on the feed page.
    
    You can:
    
    - Enable full-width feed so the feed expands horizontally when users view records in Salesforce console tabs or subtabs.
    - Turn on compact feed so users see a cleaner, more streamlined feed view when working with records in Salesforce console tabs or subtabs.
    - Choose to automatically collapse the publisher when it’s not in use so users can see more of the information below it on the page.
    - Add custom components, which are Visualforce pages with functionality you define.
    - Choose where on the page custom buttons and links and standard components like the Follow button and followers list appear.
    - Hide the standard sidebar.
    - Choose which feed filters are available, and where they appear.
5. [Assign the page layout to user profiles](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.layouts_assigning.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "After defining page layouts, assign which page layouts users see. A user’s profile determines which page layout he or she sees. In addition, if your organization is using record types for a particular object, the combination of the user’s profile and the record type determine which page layout is displayed when a user views records for that object.").
