# Manage Big Objects

A big object stores and manages massive amounts of data on the Salesforce platform. You can archive data from other objects or bring datasets from outside systems into a big object to get a full view of your customers. From Setup, you can create a custom big object and define its fields and index.

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small ">
        <colgroup>
          <col>
        </colgroup>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience</td>

          </tr>
          <tr class="">
            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">
              <p>Available in: <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and
                <strong>Developer</strong> Editions for up to 1 million records
              </p>
              <p style="margin-bottom:0;">Additional record
                capacity and Async SOQL query available as an add-on license.</p>
            </td>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

From Setup, enter Big Objects in the Quick Find box, then select **Big Objects**. From this page you can:

- Create a big object.
- View and update details about a big object.
- Delete a big object or view any big objects that were deleted in the last 15 days.

- **[Create or Edit a Big Object](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.custom_bo_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Track and store big data that’s unique to your org. For existing big objects, a details page shows information about the big object’s fields and index.
